CPU-Z 1.39 reading wrong??

[jbmx4life]

Hey guys... just got my E4300 rig together and CPU-Z is reading my CPU wrong. It says that I am running a 6x multi @ 300FSB. The 300FSB is right but the 6x is wrong since I have 9x set in the BIOS. WTF is up?

EDIT: OK this is really starting to PISS me off! I d/l'd speedfan and it is reporting about 37-38c, but I got CoreTemp also and it is reporting 20C. BIOS says 40c and I cannot get Intel TAT to run. I am going to try to reboot and see if that works.

yeh, it says my e6400 has a 6x multi as well. I thought it was my ds3 3.3 though.

I cannot get Intel TAT to run. .

Try CoreTemp I find it pretty close to TAT.

I already stated the I had CoreTemp..... and it is reporting way off of everything else.

I get this error in TAT:

Error enumerating On Demand Clock Modulation support.

Terminating Tool.

WTF is that supposed to mean??

Some motherboards wont work with TAT for some reason.

That's normal with Speedstep enabled.

That's normal with Speedstep enabled.

Yeah I think that is what my problem was also... I found the EIST (SpeedStep) setting in my BIOS and now have it disabled. I seem to have a problem with overclocking now tho. I am wondering if it is the MCH voltage that is holding me back. It is set to 1.25v on this motherboard (Abit IB9). I can get the FSB up to 300 no prob to get 2.7Ghz but I was really hoping for 333FSB or better for 3+Ghz. I tried setting my CPU voltage up to 1.5 (that was the max I was comfortable with for now) and the memory was at 2.2 or 2.3 @ 4-4-4-12-2T timings.

This is my setup:

Motherboard: ABIT IB9 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 Allendale 1.8GHz 2M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail
Video Card: SAPPHIRE 100176L Radeon X1950PRO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail
RAM: Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

OK here are some of my BIOS options also:

Execute disable bit (WTF is this?): Enable or Disable

N/B Strap CPU as:

BY CPU
PSB1066
PSB800
PSB533

DRAM SPEC:

By SPD
DDR2 533 (3:4 when above is set to "By CPU")
DDR2 667 (3:5 when above is set to "By CPU")
DDR2 800 (1:2 when above is set to "By CPU")

CPU Voltage: 1.325v to 1.7v in .025v increments
DDR2 Voltage: 1.75v to 2.5v in .05v increments
MCH Voltage: 1.25v - 1.275v the upto 1.45v in .05v increments

I have tried the N/B Strap and DRAM SPEC set at the 800 setting but I get a no boot. Right now I have them on the 533 setting and it is fine. I thought that these were supposed to be set to the same setting as the CPU? When I was overclocking before (300FSB) I had the N/B Strap set to By CPU and the DRAM set to DDR2 800 but anything over 300FSB resulted in a NO POST situation.

Let me know what to try here to hopefully get atleast 333FSB out of this thing!!
