I got a different response from Intel regarding the C1E bug. It seems they are completely denying it now.




Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Technical Support.

First at all, even though the C1E and the Enhance Intel(R) SpeedStep Technology are related, they are not the same. C1E is a feature that refers to the Enhanced Halt State and the Enhance SpeedStep Technology allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can result in decreased average power consumption and decreased average heat production

Then again the operating system handles the power management for the different devices within the system, you can try going to power options in the control panel and set the power schemes to always on.

We do not rely on what third party software states, that is why we would recommend you to run the Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility to properly identify your Intel(R) processor and its features.

The Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility was developed by Intel(R) Corporation to enable consumers the ability to identify and, in some circumstances, determine if their Intel(R) processor is operating at the correct speed intended by Intel(R) Corporation. Beginning with the Pentium(R) processor, this utility provides consumers with the ability to determine standard CPU identification of Intel processors. In addition, supported processors can utilize the Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility to help determine if a processor has been over-clocked.

You can download this utility at:

Then again, you can try running the latest BIOS version for your motherboard. You can get this update at the following link:

This was their reply to me after I told them CPU-Z and Everest was how I determined C1E wasnt disabling. I dont even know how to politely respond to this.
