The problem is that my CPU is running at 2Ghz idle, which is multiplier 6x, and on load 9x at 3Ghz.
But i want my system always to run on 3ghz.
I tried turning everything off, CE1, speedstep, setting multiplier to 9x in bios etc, it just keeps doing the same thing, idle 2ghz, stress 3ghz.

What can i do to make it run on 3ghz? Or is it just this mobo with the special power saver or something?

Thanks.

I had the same problem and the only setting I changed was the C1E. Once I turned it off my Q6600 stayed at 9x multi. I also updated to bios 1203. Some say its buggy but I haven't had any issues. I used a usb drive and the EZ flash option in the bios. Alot of people have reported errors when flashing with Windows. Iused to flash my Asus A8R32mvp Deluxe within Windows without issue but I wanted to be sure I didn't have a bad flash..
