Speedstep not active
Hi
I am running Vista Ultimate and have just installed a Pentium D Extreme Edition 840 3.2 GHZ CPU onto an Asus P5SD2-X motherboard. The BIOS does not show the Speedstep option and when I run the Intel CPU identification utility it shows that Speedstep is not running. Any ideas on how I can fix this? thanks Daniel |

Any ideas on how I can fix this? thanks Daniel The manual shows it at the bottom of the CPU Configuration screen (manual section 2.4.2). You have to scroll down to see it. Both the 840 and the motherboard, give the appearance of supporting EIST, so it should work. (According to CPUSupport web page.) On support.asus.com, I looked at the BIOS updates, and don't see any relevant improvements listed there. Another place to look, is here. http://vip.asus.com/forum/topic.aspx...Language=en-us Paul |

I'll have a go on the ASUS forum thanks Daniel |

I used "mmtool", which is a simple BIOS utility from AMI. It allows decompressing the component parts of the BIOS. In the 11th module inside the BIOS, I can see this text: Intel(R) SpeedStep(tm) tech. Maximum: CPU speed is set to maximum. Minimum: CPU speed is set to minimum. Automatic: CPU speed controlled by Operating system. Disabled: Default CPU speed. My suspicion right now, is the setting *may* be related to some other setting. One poster in the VIP forum, noticed a change when putting the CPU speed in a manual mode. I see an "AI Overclock" setting for example. While the SpeedStep feature is in a different BIOS screen, there is always a (slim) chance that the problem is related to some other BIOS setting. Paul |
