RD600 first look and general questions

[Kin Hell]

So no one knows a fix for the multiplier issue I'm facing then?

I saw similar cr4p on a Rev 505 BAd Axe 2 board. I have a stepping 5 2.4ES E6600. Multis are from 6-9 inclusive. BA2 bios wouldn't allow me to change Multi & reported it as 9. CPUz always said it was at 6 & the resultant Mhz was
2394. On RD600, If I drop the Multi to 8, 7 or 6, Orthos always says the CPU Mhz speed at whatever FSB I am at but as if I had a 9x Multiplier. I also noticed My Computer/Properties/General Tab showed the CPU speed to be based around a 9 multi.

So, with Bios settings of 464fsb x 7xmulti = 3248, but Orthos & "My Computer/Properties/General Tab" showed 4176 which is 464 x 9.

Whilst we all know Bill Gates s/w has holes in it, no way does Orthos report the same speed as Bill's General Tab, or even vice-versa.
Perhaps knowing where this info is collected from, might offer a solution to correcting this. I feel the RD600 is doing something horribly wrong with it's current Bios Code & don't feel to be in total control here.
I refuse to go over 1.48V for 24/7 use along with Tony's guidelines of 1.5 & I use Danger Den 1/2" NB cooling. I can manage 464 fsb with my own discoveries on ASYNC, but for the life in me, taking the CPU right out of things will NOT allow SYNC stable over 370Fsb. I'm gutted for nealh, especially when he ran benchies in SYNC (1:1) several times at 400 & actually blew something for reducing to 380??

Perhaps someone can offer some sort of explanation to these anomalies soon.
