Despite being set to 'enabled', Z68Intel SpeedStep not working with overclock.

Here is a screenshot of my modest 24/7 overclock on my Z68A GD80 (G3) mobo:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/580/cpuzrams.png/
Problem is, that the screenshot was taken when system was idling, yet the mobo has not recognised that my system is idling and therefore I am merely wasting energy by sitting with my CPU at 4.6Ghz. I o/cd my previous CPU (which I have had for 4 years) by more than 30% of its default clock yet the mobo still recognised when the 4Ghz was not required and underclocked it to 2.6Ghz (by reducing multiplier).
I am hoping that there is some setting that I have overlooked (which has been the case a few times already for problems I have had with this mobo), but I can state, that in the bios setting, 'Speed Step' is set to enabled.

With Sandy Bridge things changed slightly.
Manually change your base multi and /or your VCore and they will stay there.
This is being moved to the OC section.
The trick is to leave your "Adjust CPU Ratio" at 33 or 34 depending on the CPU used. Then open up your last item in the OC section (CPU Features), and then adjust the 1/2/3/4-Core Ratio Limit.
Most of these boards will clock in Auto to at least X43-X45 when all is left on Auto. Just disable EuP2013 and Spread Spectrum.
Thanks for the tip! I tried using the method of leaving everything on auto, and adjusting the CPU core ratios in the section of the bios you mention above. However, since my PC couldn't even post using this method with x42 (4200MHz intended oc) set across all four chips, let alone 43-45. I would have taken a slighlty lower overclock than my 4.6 Ghz in exchange for the power saving functionality but not if it meant losing 500-600 Mhz (and possibly even more) of CPU horsepower.
But this is a pretty bloody annoying change on Intel's part....
......overclock and lose the built in power saving feature!?
I mean ?

  • "Enable Legacy Encoders" not working with QT Version 7.5.5 (249.24)

    I have Quicktime Pro Version 7.5.5 (249.24).
    When I check the box "Enable Legacy Encoders" in the QT system preferences the box does
    not stay checked. (that is I check the box, close System Preferences, but then when I go back to System Preference the box is not checked.)
    How can I enable legacy encoders ? Is anyone else having this problem ?

  • ITunes Only Burns At 8X (Despite Being Set At 16X)

    Hi, I recently noticed that whenever I burn a CD with iTunes now, it burns rather slowly even though I have it set to burn at 16x. iTunes doesn't show what speed it's actually burning at but I figured it must be burning at 8x since it now takes about twice the normal amount of time to burn a disc. For example, it just took me approx. 7 min. to burn a CD with 16 tracks (56 min.). I decided to burn the same playlist (with the same CD-R media) using Burrrn with the speed set at 8x and sure enough it took about the same time (7 min.), confirming my suspicion that iTunes is burning at 8x (despite being set to burn at 16x). What would be the cause of this? I've even tried to set it at different speeds like 12x, 24x, etc. but it still seems to burn at 8x. Thanks for any help.

    Hi Edward,
    I created a new shell profiles named "root" as the default one "Permit Access" can't be access or modified, underneath the steps I've made.
    1. Create a new shell profile name "root" with max privilege of 15. And then used it in "Default Device Admin/Authorization/Rule-1" shell profile - see attached file for more details.
    2. Telnet the Switch and then Issue "debug aaa authentication" using both "Root Shell" and "Permit Access" applied in Rule-1 profile.
    Note:
    I also attached here the captured screen and debug result for the "shell profiles"

    Yes. you should keep your media in iTunes, and indeed you should also keep a backup of your library as well. if you have the device set up for manual management then the content would remain on it when deleted from the library, but you would have no way to restore the device if there was a problem.

  • My macbook is back from repairs. It is not working with my apple led cinema display. It was working prior to the repairs on the laptop. Is there a setting I don't know about that might have been changed?

    My macbook pro is just back from repairs.  It is not working with my apple led cinema display. I have followed the directions in the cinema display manual.  am I missing something?

    Take a look at the Displays preference panel to see if everything is ok, particularly the resolution and refresh rate.  Displays will probably try to put the panel for the ACD on the ACD where you won't see it.  So click "Gather Windows" to get the ACD panel on to your macbook.
    One more thing, make sure you fully seated the mini displayport plug.  They can be sneaky little devils in that they need to be fully pushed in.

  • AIM not working with messages

    Hello,
    My AIM account has not worked with ichat or messages in the last few months. I called Apple about this over 3 weeks ago and they said their is a glitch in the lion software and aim? However, all of my friends have no problem with their aim accounts working. I have downloaded AIM and everything works. It just does not work in ichat/messages after re-setting the password and re-adding the account. Help!

    Yes,  enabling and disabling the AIM account (sometimes it takes doing it a few times) seems to work.  And I found elsewhere that opening activity monitor and killing off the imagent process (which then automatically relaunches) seems to work as well.  Those workarounds are not permanent solutions for me though.  As soon as the iMac is either restarted or shut down and then turned back on...  Messages seems to be right back at square one with not being able to connect to AIM unless I use the workaround again.  I just hope Apple can figure out what is going on and fix the app before it goes final.

  • Dreamweaver CS 5.5 not working with Godaddy FTP with TLS/SSL

    I've upgraded to CS 5.5 and tried to connect to a client's Godaddy account with FTP with TLS/SSL it fails.  Works perfectly with my mac app Transmit every time as it always has.   It doesn't work with implicit or explicit settings with authentication set to none or otherwise.
    Can someone please let me know if Dreamweaver will ever be compatible with FTP with TLS/SSL and Godaddy?  Or is there some setting I can try that will make it work now somehow?
    Been waiting years for this....

    SnakEyez02 wrote:
    First, that's a Godaddy problem if their security isn't up to par.
    That may be the case that Godaddy is also at fault, but every other FTP app I use with Godaddy works fine.  It's just Dreamweaver and has always been just Dreamweaver not working with a secure connection to Godaddy.  Considering Godaddy is the largest webhost in the USA, you'd think Adobe would have fixed this years ago.  I should also mention I'm not endorsing Godaddy and I understand there's plenty of people that don't like Godaddy for very good reasons.
    Sent you PM with FTP account with Godaddy yesterday.  Thank you for taking a look!
    UPDATE: Whoops, I see you responded via private message already.  I'll paste most of it here in hopes it helps others to understand the issue:
    via SnakEyez02 PM:
    Ok this took a lot of digging.  I won't say it's not a DW issue 100% and I will report a bug for your problem, but DW is not the problem alone Godaddy needs to share the blame here for a bad certificate.  Here is what is happening:
    I'll start with DW:
    - The settings are correct that were in the post.  Port 21, FTP explicit, and the authentication should be set to None (encyprtion only).  This is where the transmission is encrypted using SSL, but the certificate is shared and not specific to the domain owner.  That is the difference between DW's "none" and "trusted".  It's a poor choice of words I'll give them that.  However, Godaddy seems to want all connections to be trusted thus the other error you get when you turn on the None option.  Now could DW do what Transmit does, warn you and write in an unsigned certificate into the Keychain app, probably, is it best practice for security reasons to "Trust" an unsigned certificate probably not.
    Now Transmit:
    - As explained above Transmit opens up a prompt to override and create a fake-trusted signed certificate.  Thus by forcing the OS to think a legitimate certificate is there it gets you through albeit through unconventional methods.
    The problem:
    - A good portion of this problem lies with Godaddy.  Now I use a shared hosting account and set one up on an independant host for a friend of mine and both of them accept the shared certificates (SSL explicit).  The difference is the hostname of the certificate.  I ran a traceroute (from Network Utility in Utilities folder) on your website and came up with the following address: 173.201.23x.x.
    The problem is that the certificate on your server is actually not for that server which is the reason DW seems to have such an issue with it.  The SSL certificate that Godaddy put on your shared server is for host - 173.201.19x.5x.  As you can see, it's a certificate for another server.  Honestly the fact that Panic's Transmit allows this override scares me a little bit and the fact that Godaddy never noticed this issue either scares me to.  So while DW could write in a bad certificate I can see why this is happening.
    I know there is not much solice in my answer because it still doesn't alleviate the problem that you have with DW connecting.  Unfortunately I do not have a workaround despite my numerous attempts to try and gain access over a secure connection.  One alternative you could ask Godaddy for in the meantime is an SSH connection which would allow you to use SFTP instead of FTPS.  But that's a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
    If you think of anything else feel free to bounce any ideas off me I don't mind.  Good luck in getting this solved and I will post a bug report to make Adobe aware of the issue.
    Thank you for looking into this issue in depth like you have!
    I think the issue might be that Godaddy is applying cost saving measures to keep their prices down in the way they implement their certificates (but it also wouldn't surprise me to know it's simply ineptitude on Godaddy's part either).  I'm not sure I fault Panic with Transmit much at all because it clearly warns you about the certificate and it's your choice to continue.  And, as it stands now, it's much safer to continue to connect that way with Transmit than to stop and connect with no encryption at all at a public hotspot.
    As it stands now, you really shouldn't connect to Godaddy with Dreamweaver at a public hotspot unless you set up an SSH tunnel with your connection first.  But enabling SSH is an added expense in many ways including paying for the service, using more computer resources for tunneling and time setting it up and implementation... all because Dreamweaver won't just allow developers the option like Transmit does.
    Once again, thank you for looking at this and I hope someone at Adobe finally address this issue for the security of its customers who use Godaddy (which is often not their choice and was, instead, the choice of their clients to use Godaddy as a webhost).
    Just a side note, I contacted Godaddy support about this several years ago and they were unresponsive and even hostile about it  - So that's definitely another vote against Godaddy from me as well.
