FX-6100 clock problem HELP!

[araas]

hey Guys,

i have a FX-6100 brand new with a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3, and i seem to be having a bizarre issue with the clock speed of the CPU. When at stock clock under load of prime 95 i see the speeds go up to the normal 3.3GHZ then a few seconds later kicks it down to 2.3 GHZ then another few seconds later it kicks down to 1.4GHZ. Then repeats the process constantly. I have disabled Turbo Core in the bios as well(because i was gonna overclock). is cool and quiet causing this possibly?

I have the f5 BIOS on the bored right now, and the temps never go above 45'c so it not a overheating issue. Does anyone know why this is happening and/or possibly know what the solution is?

of course it is cool n quiet, though I would keep it on as it saves power...

i kno its not cool and quiet, i just dont know what it is!

 

[amuffin]

disable it

Cool'n'Quiet is a CPU speed throttling and power saving technology. It works by reducing the processor's clock rate and voltage when the processor is idle. The aim of this technology is to reduce overall power consumption and lower heat generation, allowing for slower cooling fan operation.

I have tried disabling it first and did not have any affect on anything (i do kno what CNQ does

I just told you what it does in the post above. How did you disable it, did you go into Bios to disable it?

 

[araas]

of course i disabled it in the bios - i had disabled it before i even posted it here

 

[rds1220]

Ok. Are you sure you saved changes in the BIOS.
