Ok first of all thank you as well burebista I can get my Rmclock to work now and just to clarify I am running Vista 64 bit SP1. Ok first things first, yes uncle you're right it's showing a 6 multiplier on both core 2 and 3 and an 8 multiplier on core 0 and 1 so that's why the Realtemp and turbo are showing a 7 multiplier because it's averaging it out to 7 just like you said. How would I go about changing the multiplier on core 2 and 3 then? In my bios it only shows one FSB and multiplier setting theres no option to change 2 separate cores. No I am not running the latest bios on my motherboard and after looking through the lengthy thread for my motherboard in these forums it's said that the new bios versions have increased 45nm capability among other things because my motherboard was released back in 2007 before the newer penryn 45nm was released. However I did not bother to change it because my OS recognizes all 4 cores and as you can see all these programs are showing 450FSB on all cores including core 2 and 3 and the default multiplier/FSB for this processor is 8/333mhz so obviously the bios is compatible at some level as it raised the FSB on all 4 cores but for some reason opted to have a different multi on core2/3 even though I have it set at 8 in the Bios settings. Is it possible the C1E or EIST is changing this? Another question I have is do most motherboard bios usually let you set different multipliers and FSB for the different dies on Quadcores?
As you can see I don't have a processor power management option in neither my advanced power settings or RMclock so I can't change my minimum processor state and I can't see wether my C1E or EIST is still on according to RMclock. Maybe once I update my bios this option will appear?
Also, I have my Vcore set at 1.3325 in bios but it shows roughly 1.29-1.3 when I boot up and then it goes down again to about 1.26 again once i start prime95. I believe this is attributed to Intel spec Vdrop and Vdroop.
If I do turn off C1E and EIST this is still suppossed to happen correct?
So it appears the best course of action would be to flash my bios to the latest version would you agree with me?
Edit* I just wanted to add that both the FSB and multipliers for all 4 cores always stayed the same both at idle and while running prime95 small ffts, so core 0/1 were always at 8/450mhz and core 2/3 at 6/450mhz. However the FSB does go up or down .1 to 1mhz regularly but I'm guessing that's normal.
You said you were able to trick your quad into using 2 different multipliers using the MSR tool is there anyway to correct my situation using that tool? I guess it's supossed to be the same multiplier on all the cores at default though.
