Question about Intel Celeron 900 vs Pentium

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:43:50 GMT

I bought a new Toshiba laptop yesterday with an Intel Celeron 900 2.2 GB processor. I plan to use it for home spreadsheets, word docs, and games found on Facebook. I couldn't figure out why it was so cheap and one of my friends mentioned it doesn't compare to the Pentium processors. I'm wondering if anyone would know if this Celeron processor will be sufficient to do the above activities or should I return the laptop. I haven't got it connected to my WiFi yet, but if it's not fast enough, I don't want to bother. I got the laptop for $348 at WalMart, has a 250 GB HDD & 3 GB memory. Any expert or semi expert opinions would be greatly appreciated. I also tried to search to see where this processor would compare to a Pentium - i.e. would it be a Pent. III comparison?

Which processor is what??

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:16:50 GMT

I have been doing some research for buying a laptop. I have come across all kinds of processors - and I have no clue which is better than which.

Some of the processors I have come across are:

Pentium T4200, SU2700

Pentium Dual Core Mobile T3400, T4300

Core 2 Duo T6500, T6400, T6600, T5800

Celeron Dual Core T1600

Celeron Dual Core Mobile T3400

Atom N280, Z520

What is the difference between all of them?

I have not been able to locate most of these on the sites. Names of the processors are as were given by the laptop manufacturers.

The laptop will be used for the Internet thru Wifi, Microsoft Office, viewing photos and other basic stuff - nothing fancy.

Do I even need to worry about the processor for such basic use?

I am thoroughly confused and have no idea of processor hierarchy anymore!!

Please help me!!!

Su3500 v. su4100

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:55:39 GMT

Trying to compare the su3500 to the su4100. So you can see where my confusion is

There is this ... http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=43568,37133,

So, the su4100 has two cores versus the su3500's one core ... although it is a little faster core

but then there is this

http://www.intel.com/consumer/Learn/ultra-thin.htm ... translation pentium slower ... except the su4100??

So when we talk about applications utilizing two cores ... are more average one's, like picasa, able to benefit from the two cores. I imagine photoshop would be but other than that?

Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 supporting OS

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:09:33 GMT

Hi,

I am purchasing a laptop from Dell, model # S540513IN8 - Dell Inspiron(TM) 1440 Laptop. With this system the OEM is giving Vista Home Premium 64 bit SP1 edition. Now I am interested in using 32 bit OS only. Will this processor be able to support the 32 bit OS and if yes then will I be able to run all the drivers specific to 32 bit OS?

Xeon vs i7 Processors

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 22 May 2009 16:05:01 GMT

Age old question again - but now with the Intel i7, multi-threaded processor. I think there is still a lot of confusion here - Which is better (faster) for a Desktop? I know that 2 Xeons can be put in a system (asuming the MB supports 2 processors like the 5400 board) but I have never really seen a "side by side" compairison between the processors.

Now - with the i7, 8 lanes of traffic - and Xeon with the same - which would be better. Cost is about the same, MB would be different - but for a desktop computer, XP or Vista 32-bit - 3G of Memory - One better than the other? How about 64-bit OS? Standard windows applications running...

Can Someone compare the SU2700 to the T6400? I can't find anything on the Intel site about the SU2700.

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 14 May 2009 03:34:58 GMT

I got a new laptop that has a SU2700 processor. It was supposed to have a T6400. I can't find any info on this SU2700 chip. Can someone please help to compare these for me? I need to know whether or not to return this laptop and I only have a few more days.

Thanks

Can you replace the Pentium SU4100 with the Intel Core 2 Duo SP9600?

william9_17@live.com — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:11:42 GMT

I'm toying around with replacing the CPU of my Dell Inspiron 11z. It has the Pentium SU4100. I love my netbook/notebook but I'd like it to have more power. The Intel Core 2 Duo SP9600 is a high performance low voltage processor so I'd love to be able to install it in my mini. The 11z comes with the GS45 Chipset. I've looked into it and it supports both CPUs. Is there anything I should look out for? Are the two easily inter-changable?

Why was the Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor discontinued or retired?

Intel® Core™2 Solo mobile processor SU3500??

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:40:10 GMT

Hello experts.

I'm having difficulties choosing between 2 different laptops. The ultra thin model I like has a Intel Core2 Solo mobile processor SU3500. It has a 4GB but is this Solo processor quick enough? This computer is only for personal use and no gaming. On the other hand I could get a much thicker computer with the same size screen which has a Centrino Core2 Duo mobile processor P7350. I know the SU3500 is a fairly new processor. I like the thinner model better but if the Solo is going to be to slow, I will get the other. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.

New Processor

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:05:24 GMT

I was wondering if someone can help me with a problem. I currently have a Denver 10 motherboard with an Intel Pentium E2180. I am thinking of upgrading my processor to an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E7600. However I am unsure whether it will work with my motherboard. As far as I can tell they both have the same FSB speed and the same CPU socket, but since I am quite new to this I am probabbly missing somthing important. If anyone can see any reason why they wouldn't work together could you please tell me. Thanks

Need advice - P8800, T9600, P9500 ?

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:20:54 GMT

I am buying a Lenovo T400 laptop for Photoshop and video editing. I need advice on selecting a processor. I understand computer basics but am not an advanced user.

Lenovo recommends the P8800, but I want the T9600. Performance is a priority and I understand the tradeoff between performance and battery life/heat. I am willing to give up some battery performance, for the T9600 provided that the laptop will not be uncomfortably hot (I've been reading feedback and reviews about laptops with big heat problems -- Dells that are too hot to touch).

Questions:

1) How do the "hotter" processors affect the longevity of the laptop? It seems intuitive that a laptop that runs on the warm side would not last as long.

2) Would I notice significant performance differences between the P8800, T9600 and P9500?

3) Any other advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

How to Identify 32-bit or 64-bit Processors

adarsh.splash@gmail.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:11:58 GMT

In Linux, we have a command "cpuid" which gives complete information about the CPU, it's starts somewhat like this.

Intel-specific functions:
Version 00000f47:
Type 0 - Original OEM
Family 15 - Pentium 4
Extended family 0
Model 4 -
Stepping 7
Reserved 0 ....

Everything is present except whether the Processor is 32-bit or 64-bit CPU. Is it possible to find out based on the above info. wheter a CPU is 32-bit or 64-bit. If so, how? I have seen numerous sites, but haven't got exact info. of how this could be found thorugh an OS, either Windows or Linux.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards

Adarsh

Q6600 - Windows XP can't see 4 cores

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:42:39 GMT

I have a Q6600 G0 step + Asus P5KC motherboard.

I've had the Q6600 for 13 months and i love it.

In Windows XP SP2 every time i looked at Task Manager it showed 4 cores, when i used Asus's AI utility, it showed all 4 cores.

But over the weekend my PC got badly hit by a virus and trojan horse, this totally wrecked my PC and I could not even format the hard drive from bootup.

I managed to fix this problem, reformated and re-installed XP, but now every time I look at task Manager it shows 2 cores, when i use Asus's AI utility, it shows 1 core, instead of 4.

When i check the BIOS it tells me I still have 4 cores in full working order.

In Windows XP when i run Intel's Processor Identification Utility, it tells me I still have 4 cores in full working order.

I even underclocked the Q6600 and then tested it with Intel's Processor Identification Utility, it still tells me I still have 4 cores in full working order running at the underclocked speed.

When I install Ubuntu 8.10, it tells me I have 4 cores and shows what they are up to.

So these are telling me my Q6600 is ok and is running on all 4 cores But when i re-install windows XP SP2 and look at task Manager it still shows 2 cores instead of 4, when i use Asus's AI utility, it shows 1 core, instead of 4.

This is worrying the life out of me.

Is BIOS and Ubuntu correct or is windows correct ?

Can any one help ?

Can a bad Processor cause this?

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:54:48 GMT

I am building a system with the following specs:

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6500 2.93GHz Wolfdale CPU
Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L Mobo
Gigabyte ATI GV-R467ZL-1GI Radeon HD 4670 Graphics Card
OCZ Fatal1ty 550W PSU
OCZ Titanium XMP PC9200 DDR2 1150MHz Dual Channel 4GB (2x2GB) RAM
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 SATAII 750GB Hard Drive
Lite-On SATAII DVD-RW

I'm trying to install Windows 7 x64. Computer POSTs fine and begins installation (copies files and begins extraction). As soon as the systems starts the installation (first screen after it say Windows with the small green bar below it - I think it's the Policy Acceptance screen) the video is all scrambled and I can't see anything but garbage. I've tried using 2 other sets of Kingston RAM (changing settings in BIOS as they were 533MHz & 800MHz sets - they are only 512MBx2), a different graphics card (Gigabyte nVidia GV-N210OC-512I), differnt PSU (Thermaltake W0070RUC 430W) and just exchanged the mobo for a new one. I have the OCZ memory set to run at 1033MHz, 5-5-5-1 & 2.2v (settings are per the manufacturer).

Now is it possible that this issue would be caused by a bad CPU or perhaps because of the changed setting for the RAM in the BIOS that I need to change a setting for the CPU? When running the other sets of RAM I change the BIOS settings to AUTO and they run at 533/800 accordingly.

I've been messing around with this system for about 4 weeks (ordering a new graphics card & power supply and exchanging the mobo). It's taken me so long to get this far, I would have to exchange the processor now with Intel as the 30 days is up from the retailer. I'm really hoping it's just a setting in the BIOS.

Please Help.

Need Input! Which Should I Choose? Core 2 Duo T9900 or i7-820?

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:30:28 GMT

I need some input!

I'm in the process of "building" a new Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop. I can't decide whether to get the Core 2 Duo T9900 (3.06 GHz) or the i7-820 (1.73 GHz with 3.06 turbo boost). I do no gaming. I usually run 6 to 10 tabs of Explorer along with Outlook. I also run Photoshop, Word and Acrobat, usually one at a time but sometimes a couple at once, usually Photoshop and Word. I plan to get 8GB RAM. There's only about $300 difference in cost between the two processors, and I don't mind spending the extra money on the i7 if it will benefit me. I'm more concerned with consistent overall speed and heat on my lap. Are there any cons to the i7? Given my usage, will I get or notice any benefit from the i7? Will the combination of T9900, 8GB RAM and Windows 7 handle the apps I run without slowing/bogging down and not get too hot?

Recommendations and comments would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

E5540 Tray?

sad_weirdo@yahoo.com — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:12:58 GMT

I'm planning to get this procie but there are still some buggy questions in my head.

Here are the questions:

What do exactly Intel mean by issuing two package version of their procies?

What is the mystery behind the tray ones?

What does" embedded" mean on the E5540?

Is it the way how Intel specifies which ones are normal and which ones are flawed?

I need a clarification on this before I lead myself to the eternal dissapointment, thank you

i7-950 3,06 ghz processor running at 2,66ghz: why?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:02:33 GMT

I just buy it and its running at 2,66 instead of 3,06

im using a evga x58 mother board and a 750w power supply with 6 ram x2 gig ocz and gtx 295

anyone know why?

Core 2 quad Q6700 @ 2.66GHz running at 950MHz - Why???

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:52:04 GMT

I'm throwing this out to all techies who may be able to shed some light onto this issue that i have.

First, my system:

EVGA 680i mainboard

Q6700 2.66GHz quad core CPU

Corsair HX850w PSU

XFX GTS250 1Gb GPU

4Gb RAM (2x corsair 1Gb & 2x kingston 1Gb)

WD 500Gb Caviar Black HDD

Plus a few extra's - extra HDD, wireless PCI card, 1x IDE DVD/RW, 1x SATA DVD/RW

Running Vista Ultimate SP2 32bit

Now, the problem:

Whilst running the Windows Performance Test I noticed that i was only getting 5.5 WEI. The RAM, the graphics and the HDD were all getting 5.9 subscores but the CPU was letting the side down. I have just built another PC for my dad with similar components but a 2.33GHz Q8200 CPU, and noticed that this one gets the compliment of 5.9 subscores. THEN, i noticed that system details for his processor reads 'Q8200 @2.33GHz 2.33GHz' where as mine reads 'Q6700 @ 2.66GHz 950Mhz'. (see pic below) What is going on here??? Do i understand correctly that my processor is running very slowly, more slowly than it should? Or do i have a less powerful one?? If there is something wrong with my machine, how do i know? and how do i resolve it??

Any help would be gratefully received.

Many thanks

Mike

What is the Fastest Socket 478 CPU

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:20:17 GMT

What is the fastest socket 478 CPU and how do I recognize it from simular CPUs? A friend of mine has a AsRock P4VM900 sata2 mobo.

I just about got him hooked on "The Build". I gave him a vagly working pc then had him change the mobo to the forsaid one. Next is the CPU upgrade which I am working on getting the information ready for him. The next upgrade is the catch, a PSU of about 450 to 700 watts which will can be for the next rig, an I5 or I7. For now he do needs something good enough to surf and use till he can save up some money

Atom processor for server pc?

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:37:26 GMT

Is the Intel Atom processor suitable for a computer running on windows server 2003? We are running an educational institution and would like to move the existing server pc to a new one which contains Atom processor. And it is told that the computing power of Atom processor is much smaller that it can be compared only to a 1GHz Pentium III processor. Is it true? Our network is very small and contains only 25 pc's and the additional constraint is all the newly bought systems have come with an atom 230 processor only. And the old server was a 2.6GHz P4.

q9550 won't post

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:36:49 GMT

I just bought a Q9550 to replace a Q8300 on a DB45SG mobo. Mostly to get hardware virtualisation support for Win 7. System is happy with Q8300 - won't post w/ Q9550. I swapped back and forth a couple of times so I'm sure that the only difference between happy stable running and no post is the CPU. I got the shop to check the CPU and it booted happily on their test bed, so there should be something I can do to make it work. Obviously, I don't want to just start replacing mobo, memory, psu etc until it works, so I'm hoping somebody has some experience or inspiration on this issue.

Bios is 0121 (latest at this writing) so that's not an issue. Tried to boot single channel, no luck. Chat w/support suggested (vaguely) that PSU might be a problem. It's a Thermaltake TR2 RX 550W. Memory is OCZ 2 x 2g ddr3 1333 pc10666 cl7-7-7-20. System is pretty heavily loaded - 3 hdd (one is a velociraptor if that makes any diff...), 2 dvd/cd rw, maybe a dozen usb devices, gtx9800 video. 550 W is probably enough though...

thoughts please?

Q9400 Quad core processor temperatures

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:16:07 GMT

I recently installed a Q9400 Core 2 Quad processor in my gaming computer. I installed an aftermarket CPU cooler after finding out the heatsink and fan included with the retail packaged processor did not cool my CPU adequately. I used the thermal paste included with the aftermarket cooler.

The question I have is, before and after installing the aftermarket CPU cooler, the temperatures on each of my cores are different. They varry from 91 degrees F to 105 degrees F (33C to 40C) at idle (computer on, just browsing internet). My question is whether or not this is normal. I understand higher loads on different cores creates higher tempratures, but I figured being on one piece of silicon and so close together that the temperatures would be in a much tighter range, not the 15 degree spread that I am seeing. Is this a sign that I maybe didn't get the paste spread out properly?

Core 1 and 3 are always higher in temperature than the other two. Core 2 temp is higher than Core 4 temp. This trend continues even when playing high-end games.

I am getting these temperatures from an Nvidia program included with the motherboard and graphics card, both with Nvidia chipsets.

I have a somewhat high hardware knowledge, but my software knowledge is somewhat lacking. Thanks for your help.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield, Socket 775 LGA Not Spinnning

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:48:49 GMT

Hi,

Sorry about the double posts. I had a problem with the Code and only "Hi" was left in the body of the topic and I couldn't find an Edit button.

My cpu fan isn't spinning.

I have a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield, Socket 775 LGA. I built my pc in March 2008. I haven't had any problems with my hardware until yesterday when

I rebooted. The mobo started beeping constant short beeps and stopping and starting the boot process. In order to stop this from happening, I had to unplug my pc

from the wall. After this happened several times, my computer booted to my desktop. I read the pdf mobo manual and it said that constant short beeps means a

power error. I opened the case and saw that the cpu fan wasn't spinning. My computer had been on for about 5 minutes at this point. After that, I watched a few

movies on my pc so that it was on for about 4 or 5 hours. During this time, I checked the cpu fan and it was never spinning. My computer has been on for a

couple hours today and the cpu fan isn't spinning. It seems that the cpu fan doesn't need to constantly spin because my cpu hasn't fried. Is this normal?

The Document Page for the cpu is http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9UM

New computer, what is my temperature supposed to be?

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:56:18 GMT

Hi guys, picked up a new laptop for school earlier this week. Loving it so far, its an LG R580 with an intel core 2 duo T6500 processor, NVIDIA Geforce G105M, 4GB DDR2 ram etc..

I've been googling all day but cannot find a definitive answer to my question. What temperature should my cores be at idle?

As of this posting my cores are at 53 degrees celsius, GPU is at 46C.

The cores have reached upwards of 55 when I wasnt really even doing anything.

I had a browser window open with a couple tabs, no video or media streaming, no music playing at all.

Upon bootup my cores are probably around 40 degrees celsius, under no heavy load & within an hour it'll be a little above 50C

I dont recall going over 60C so far, however HWMonitor says my max was 61C

Should I be worrying at all? Googling earlier I've read that some intel core 2 duo processors idle around 45C. Perhaps it varies by model and mine happens to run warmer than others?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Boxed cooler unable to cool i7-860

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:37:21 GMT

I built a new PC with an i7-860 CPU. Originally, I tried to use a Scythe Ninja 2 Rev. B cooler. When idle, the temperatures were in the upper twenties (celcius). However, when I started a stress test, the temperatures jumped to ~70 and continued growing until they reached the nineties after several minutes. I then stopped the stress test.

I thought maybe the Ninja 2 can't handle the i7-860 so I decided to try the boxed cooler instead. Idle temperatures were as low as 22-23 (environment temperature is 21). However, the stress test let the temperatures jump to 60 and then slowly grow to the nineties again. This surprised me since I thought that the boxed cooler should definitely be able to handle the processor. Also, the boxed cooler already had the thermal grease on it so I can't have made any mistake there. Does that mean that my CPU is broken?

I used RealTemp and CoreTemp to determine the CPU temperatures.

P7450 Processors?

I would like to know if the P7450 and the P7350 are the same processor or not, because I can not find the P7450 processor anywhere on the Intel.com site at all and if so Best Buy needs to change their information on the laptop labels.?

New processor help

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:38:30 GMT

I just bought a 2.5 Ghz Core 2 quad processor upgrading from a 3.4ghz Pentium D processor. After I put carefully put in the new processor and heatsink, reconnected everything and fired it, I just get the one screen telling me what will take me to setup/BIOS. This screen will come up and that is pretty much it before nothing else happens cant enter bios/setup and it doesnt boot up.. My mobo is ASUS P5KPL-VM 775 socket...

Any Suggestions??

Core 2 Duo Upgrade

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:42:27 GMT

Newbie here. I came here looking for an answer on upgrading my processor. Im looking at the 2.66ghz 6mb cache 1333 mhz e8200 cpu to replace my 6300 1.8mhz core 2 duo. For an extra 20 dollars I can go to (if i can) a core 2 quad 2.33ghz 4mb cache 1333mhz fsb. The way I'm reading this is the core 2 duo is a better cpu than the quad core. My question is are these cpu's interchangable with my 6300 and is the core 2 duo a better cpu than the quad core. Thanks in advance...

With or Without Multimedia Instructions?

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:01:54 GMT

Easily half of the Core 2 Duo, i5, and i7 processors listed on retail sites (e.g. newegg) are not shown as having multimedia instructions (SSE, SSE2, etc). Does that really mean that these processors are often made without those multi-media instructions?

If that is true then how, for example, would I choose between an i5 that does have the multimedia instructions (but has a slower clock speed) and an i5 that does not have them (but has a faster clock speed)? In my case, I want to build a media center. I understand that netflix uses silverlight, but I'm not sure how much silverlight needs or uses multimedia instructions (e.g. SSE2, SSE 3, etc).

On an i7 920 processor with HT enabled, which of the cores seen in Windows are the material ones and which are the virtual ones ?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:22:12 GMT

On an i7 920 processor with HyperThreading enabled, which of the cores seen in Windows are the material ones and which are the virtual ones ?

I am running 4 instances of Folding@Home on my i7 920 and I usually assign 1 specific core to each instance of the program, so that Windows will not run them on the same core than other programs.

The problem is, with HyperThreading enabled, I have 8 cores. 4 of them are "real" while 4 others are "virtual".

As HyperThreading makes the unused instructions on a core available for other programs, if I run an instance of the program on one "real" core and on its associated "virtual" core, I will not benefit from the full power of the processor, since the two programs will attempt to ose the same instruction sets.

All that windows tells me is that they are numbered from 0 to 7. That's not really useful...

Which cores are the real ones, which are the virtual ones, and which real one is associated with which virtual one ???

My processor runs at very high frequency

sonu01_hyd@yahoo.co.in — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:43:55 GMT

Hi,

I have been using my PC for over 2 years with this configuration:

Windows XP Professional SP2;

Intel D945GCNL Motherboard;

2 GHZ Core2Duo (E4400) processor;

250 GB HDD;

and 2 GHz RAM ( 1 + 1 GB RAM sticks of Different makes, Different Models, and DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES.

Recently i have downloaded the Intel Processor Identification tool from the Intel website and it shows the results as follows :

How is this possible ???

A 2GHz processor running on 12.36 GHz frequency ...!!!

and a 800 Mhz Bus running on 4946 MHz...!!

is the identification tool faulty or is the system faulty ??

what should i do now ??

does having two different RAM sticks of different frequencies damage a processor ???

Intel XEON 5500 / 7400 Performance Benchmark-Tests

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:10:03 GMT

Hello,

could anyone explain why the 6core Intel Xeon 7400 series isn't so much faster in the tpmC-benchmarks as the Intel Xeon 5500 4core series?

With 4 CPUs each with 6cores the Intel Xeon 7400 series (639,253 tpmC) should be much faster in the tests as the server system with 2 CPUs each with 4cores of the Intel Xeon 5500 series (631,766 tpmC).

What could be reasons why a customer should choose Intel Itanium II CPUs for an Oracle Database environment? Are there any advantages or disadvantages by using the Intel Xeon 5500 or 7400 series?

Thanks for your answers

Daniel

Intel, what are you going to do about this i7 Overheating Problem?

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:00:11 GMT

I just got an i7 920, 3 days ago to put in a brand new system. The boxed fan with paste already attached does not keep the cpu cool.

My brand new system shut down afer a few hours of just sitting there running nothing.

I have been building my own systems since the early 80's.

I updated the bios and put additional paste under the fan and it runs a few degrees cooler but still too hot.

My case is a Cool Master 902, full tower all grilled, with 4 Huuuge fans in it. There is no way that cpu should be running hot. Normal op temp with nothing running is 106 deg f. During any type of application it climbs to 135 deg C. I'm sure with a big load this cpu will cause a shut-down.

Intel, you jumped the gun or something. Why waste your money and ours with a boxed fan which is grossly inadequate.

Now people will have to go out and try to buy something expensive to cool this thing. I blew $280.00 on this cpu and i expect it to work.

Don't you people test these things? Or did you test it and ignore the results?

It needs a better cooling system, out of the box.

Looks like a Class-Action suit in the making to me. I know that if don't get some satisfaction from Intel, i'll be contacting the U.S. Atorney's Office.

QPI voltage question - is mine too low?

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:54:06 GMT

I have a DP45SG with a Core 2 Duo E8400. Intel's Desktop Control Center shows my QPI Voltage at 1.05 and that this voltage is in the orangish-red area on my Monitoring gague. I'm not terribly familiar with QPI and how it fits into things, except that it's supposed to replace the FSB. I know that I'm suppose to have a QPI somewhere in the 1.12-1.15 range. Is this true? Do I have a problem since my QPI voltage is low?

I'm not experiencing any performance-related issues, other than the occasional single beep followed by a very short (almost cut off) second beep from the motherboar'd speaker about once or twice per day - still haven't figured that one out.

Thanks,

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:12:10 GMT

Let me start this off first by saying that I do not have large amounts of money which is why I am trying to build this computer up in the first place. Otherwise I would just go buy a new one.

I have a Emachine W3653 desktop.

I have a 450W Corsair PSU

2gigs of Ram

NVidia Geforce 8800 Graphics Card

ECS 945GCT-M3 (V3.0)

The problem I do have is obvious. The factory installed Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6Ghz processor. I thought that I was going to buy the 2.6ghz E4700 which is socket 775 which is after all what I have on my mother board. I was told by a guy on another forum that I cannot use that one. Can somone please tell my why I cannot use it and give me a list of ones that I can use?? I do not have an Xbox or a PS3 but I want to be able to play games like GTA IV, Call of Duty 4, Far Cry2, and others. I already tried GTA IV and it runs like crap and I was told it was my processor. Please help.

Core i7 920 memory / cache problems

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:11:41 GMT

Hi,my Core i7 acts stange now and then.

It seems to hold stored information and present it while going for a next action.

For instance: when I change my monitorview in a 3D program I first get a flash of a stored image that I created before.

Something wrong with memory tasks.

In the configurationwindow / Details / Energiestatus -I found a little difference for the Cores

Could the problem be something with S2 ?

It says S2-> Not prescribed.

Al the other S0 S1 S3 S4 S5 have their energie given at D0 or D3

Does Intel Atom N330 exist?

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:38:55 GMT

Regarding Intel Atom 330-series I am a bit confused.

On some official intel pages and wikipedia I have only seen Atom 330 mentioned (meaning 64 bits capable processor.)

However often I see people in forums and also manufacturers of PCs mention Atom N330. As far as I know N-processors are only 32 bit capable.

Asus for instance mentions that their EeeBox PC EB1501 has an Intel Atom N330-processor:

http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=JEaDVvtKZ9hHhda2#

So my question - does there exist any Atom N330-processors?

He has come a doubt, I'm from the Country Chile, do not speak Castilian now I'm using google translator, I'm from Chile 17 years I have a question, which is the voltage that the processor should I place for this to work, not because I DO not like OVERCLOK, place you need to know that voltage, the sales page "0.8-1.36V" in Core Temp VID me that the sale of the processor is "1.300 V", I will ask now: (my VID is 1.300V)

1) What is "VID" in the processor is Intel's recommended voltage for proper operation in all of this varies Q9550 Processors "vid" is the average voltage, maximum or minimum that apply to tenog?

2) if my Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 will do well 1.245vcore 1.300vcore And Had a problem leaving it in a 1.245?, How can I know that voltage is more "comfortable" to work the Q9550 because I have to choose among 1,245 and 1,300, between those voltages works well, the PC does not stick, no nothing happens restart it. I even puts up the same scores BECHMARCK, 3D score view is Marck -> 41.236, the same score with 1.245 or more comodities 1.300

What voltage should I set for the Q9550?

Saludos desde chile, hopefully I can help if you know of better sub-forum to place this issue or any other forum could inform me please, I would be very agrdecido reading a secure and reliable response.

I recently upgraded my processor from an (1.6ghz) E1200 Celeron to a (2.2ghz) E1500 Celeron. I have an ECS Motherboard 945GCT Intel motherboard. My problem is that it won't let us play some of our older games anymore. This computer is not hooked up to the internet so I know it is not from an update. One game it does not allow us to play is Star Wars Jedi Knight 2. Everytime we try to launch it it gets shut down by Vista saying that D.E.P. has shut it down. I went into D.E.P. and put it on the list to not shut down and it continues to do it. How do I fix this and what is wrong??

Hola

Estoy revisando la opción de comprar un Netbook, ya tengo la marca LENOVO por todas las referencias que he leido no es malo, mas aún es bueno, pero me asalta una gran duda en el mercado existen dos equipos

1.- Netbook Leonovo S10
2.- Netbook Leonovo S10e

Los que tienen Dos diferencias una en precio el S10e es mas barato que el S10, pero la mas relevante es en el procesador

S10 tiene el procesador INTEL ATOM y el S10e tiene el INTEL ATOM N270 y en ese momento me asalta la gran duda, ¿cual es la diferencia entre esos dos procesadores?, ¿por que la diferencia de precios?, ¿cual es mejor?, etc, etc.

Por favor, si alguien me puede ayudar, lo agradecería mucho.

Intel SU2700, T6400, T6500

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 18:26:12 GMT

There are laptops in the $500 to $600 range, all with 14.1" displays and similar memory/HDD setups. One of the differences is the Intel CPU. I've seen the SU2700 (new single core?), T6400 and now the T6500 (T6400 replacement?). I haven't purchased a new laptop lately in this category for awhile, so I'm interested in expert opinions on the relative performance difference I might notice using XP Pro (Vista if I need to) and Windows7. I'm more likely to multitask office and web-browsers than do any serious gaming. Other consideration is battery life - single core has lower max power, but how much of a difference should I expect?

Hello!
There were some problems when programming DMA(bas. 8237А) controller in copy memory mode(memory-to-memory). I ask for your help.
I'm trying to copy the physical memory. You must perform the second movement of the memory controller, as the x16 registers and the address range 16M. First, try to run through the first movement of memory controller as a test.

As a result, this code does not work. The memory is filled with the value 0xFFFF.. The documentation for this mode(memory-to-memory) is described very briefly. Perhaps this mode is not supported..

I would like to see a working example or a detailed description of the programming mode.

Pentium M 1,6 GHz stuck at 600 MHz, how to fix ?

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:42:47 GMT

Since some weeks I noticed that my computer was slow. I noticed that the frequency is stuck at 600 MHz even when CPU is 100% used (I use for example CPU Stress MT).

After searching the web, found and tried a lot of tricks (ie. SpeedStep FAQ), I am surprise to not find any tips about this issue on support web sites of Microsoft and Intel.

Configuration :
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M1425-72511 (CPU Dothan M725).
OS : Windows XP SP 3 (home edition).

Tried without success :
- Software uninstalled: ProcessLasso v3.64 (Bitsum Technologies).
- Tried the fan button (a "silence mode" that slow down the fan).
- Booted with button WIFI off.
- Disabled WIFI (from device manager) then booted.
- Disabled Audio chip (from device manager) then booted.
- Changed power management profiles.
- Re installed chipset driver files (Intel 855PM OEM files. However files were never updated).
- Msconfig: started as selective mode.
- Msconfig: started as diagnostic mode.
- Msconfig: started as normal mode.
- Software Speed Switch v1.52
- Software Right Mark CPU Clock Utility v2.35 (not sure to use it correctly however).

Each time the issue was the same : stuck at 600 MHz (I use software PC Wizard v1.90 to display the speed and CPU Stress MT v1.04 to force CPU usage).

Notes : I wonder if the issue has a link with the operations I did the the past months (SP3 installation, WIFI driver update, audio driver update).
The BIOS (AMI) of my computer does display parameters about the CPU (or perhaps it's hidden).

Searching on the web i found the cpubenchmark.net. On this site, the E5420 model is better then E5504. This is correct? The E5420 get 7854 score, while the E5504 get only 6256, or 20% less. The E5504 should not be more performatic?

Waiting for resposnses.

Thanks for all.

Under XP, all is perfect, EIST / speedstep if working and make my notebook very comfortable ^^

On win7's day, i've got my copy, and installed it (thx to Intel for provided the right driver for ProSet Wireless 2200BG ^^ ).

Under Seven, my SpeedStep not work properly, i'm not get a dynamic frequency scale:
-if i select a 'light mode", after reboot or on awake from hibernate, the processor runs at 600MHz, and no up to 2GHz on cpu's load.
-if i select a "full performance mode", my processor runs at 2GHz and never go down on idle.

i 'patch' the problem by using CrystalCpuId, but it's not so reactive as under XP, and it's not a so clean solution as a nice integrated driver (as under XP).
Is it a dismissed in Intel Drivers for Seven ?
Is it a dismissed in Seven advanced power management ?

3.6 ghz hapertown?

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:10:09 GMT

does anyone know if there will be coming out a 3.6 ghz xeon in the 54xx series (hapertown)? like the 3.4 ghz x5492

or generally if there are additional "setppings" planned after the E0 (I think is)?

thanks

Searching for the fastest processor to run Linux

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:06:36 GMT

Working on a project where we have maximum $30k to purchase a server/workstation. We need the fastest processor we can buy to execute Fortran applications. Parallel processing nor graphics are of our interest; this is sequential processing, CPU intensive.

We will be using Linux as OS, probably Ubunto (Red Hat or Suze: One that comes with the Fortran compiler included).

We have not been able to find a good white paper comparing processors for workstations/servers. Based on what we're finding in Internet, it looks as though Itanium is the fastest processor, but we're not finding many servers/workstations in the market with Itanium. (Realize that we'll be purchasing the equipment in Venezuela).

On the other hand, we're not clear if Itanium -for the kind of applications we have- will be faster than Xeon processors, which have been in the market much longer.

Anyone knows where I can find a good processor comparison white paper? Any thoughts on Itanium vs Xeon in the context explained above?

thank you to whoever can help!

DDR3 supporting on the i7 series

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:04:27 GMT

Hey there.

I have to ask one questiong, I didn't ding the answer on the official site in the documentation. It's still a trouble to me, that's why decided to post here.

I'm gotta buy an i7 processor, to be exact, i7-950. I've just reader these sweets can't handle the memory's frequency over than 1066 Mhz. Am I wrong? I missed something? It will be installed on a Rampage II Extreme motherboard from Asus and I will having a triple 2048Mb kit with 2000Mhz on them. As far as I know from the specification the motherboard is supporting this frequency at all. But what with the processor?

I also got reader that i7 Extreme can works with greater frequencies. I have the budged and can't afford an ability to buy it for myself.

Any advices will be appreciated, thank you.

New Processor & MB - keep old OS?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:01:47 GMT

If I swap out my MB and processor for new equipment will the system boot normally without any changes to the OS? I am running WXP SP3. Going from P4 to i7. I am going to upgrade the OS to W7 Pro after this to take advantage of 64bit.

I am thinking of using Laplink PC Mover W7 Upgrade Assistant to install W7. This should facilitate the install of a clean OS and install all my old programs (over 30).

Core i7 920 RMA issues

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:42:17 GMT

Intel, I've sent my defective core i7 920 in through UPS, with a tracking number and it was received by your facility in Kentucky on the 30th of October.

I have contacted support both by phone and the live internet chat and nobody is helping me. They all claim the product has not been received though my tracking number confirms that it was received last friday, the 30th. I gave the tracking number once over the phone, and the support person claimed the case was going to be escalated, this was nearly 24 hours ago and I received no notifications of change. I would really appreciate some help as I am currently nearly a week without a CPU.

Case number: 9425201

i7-860 heavy cpu throttling (Win7 + DP55WG)

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:08:56 GMT

I just built a new Win7 system using a Antec Illusion 300 case, Intel DP55WG motherboard and a i7-860 processor (stock cooling)

When running a prime95 test the processor is only seeing ~2.0ghz and CPU-Fan reports 6 of the cores are at 85 degrees (the other two are at 78).

The system stability is good even at the high temperature. I did just order a "Arctic Freezer 7 rev 2" from NewEgg it should arrive next week.

I guess my question is "Is that stock heatsink & fan really that bad?" I did re-seat the stock heat sink to double check it and I used a different thermal compound. That didn't help much / any. I was just hoping for a non-overclocked stable system (that is why I chose the Intel board), but it is disappointing to have these cooling issues at stock speed.

Is there anything else I should be looking at?

Thanks,

-Reinyn

intel E7500 compatibility problem

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:24:04 GMT

Hello. I bought a new CPU E7500 for my home PC and I'm having a problem that won't let me sleep. After installing the new CPU my Sapphire HD4870 won't send any signal to my monitor, unless I manually turn the PC off by pressing the power off button for a few seconds. Turning the PC on after this action would result in a normal booting. This way i could play for hours and the PC it's been on for 3 days now with no problems. So after any restart or shutdown from software, won't work. I used the HD4870 with my old CPU E4500 and there was no problem. I also tryed the new CPU with the old videocard and it didn't work so the new CPU is the problem for sure.

Thanks in advance.

Btw this is the configuration I'm using:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500
Mobo: Intel DP35DP
Video: Sapphire HD4870 1gb (standard one)
PSU: Gembird 650W
Memory: 4Gb (4x1Gb) DDR2 Pc2-6400 (400MHz) Kingmax

Broken LGA 775 F2 pin

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:40:30 GMT

The F2 pin on my GA-EP45-UD3P's CPU socket is broken, will it still work with any of the LGA775 processors? I see that the pin is GTLREF2 Power/Other for quad core processors and FC5 Power/Other for duo core and celeron processors. It'd be a pitty to let this beautiful board go into the trash bin because of one pin!! Your advice would be appreciated.

Errata AW67 in E7400 with main board DG31pr

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:30:11 GMT

I recently bought the following for Vmware-ESX 4.0 installation.

1. E7400 Core2Duo processor (SPEC code:SLGW3 ,Ordering code:BX80571E7400)

2. DG31pr Main Board

The main intention of buying this combination is that,the processor supports VT-x and the main board BIOS has the VT enable option.

While installing vmware,i am facing the problem that the processor is not VT copmliant ,though the processor supports VT and the VT option is enabled in BIOS.I finally came to know that the processor suffers from "Errata AW67".The following link talks about a work around for "Errata AW67".

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8000 Series and E7000 Series Specification Update .

Currently my main board BIOS version is PRG3110H.86A.0065.2009.0421.1559. Could you please suggest me a solution/work around for this?Is this fixed in later BIOS versions? OR what else needs to be done?

LENOVO U350 CHIPSET GS45

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:43:49 GMT

Hi,

People checkout LENOVO U350 has Chipset GS45 which is top of the line notebook chipset and which supports top the line core 2 duo CPU aswell, but this notebook come with SU3500, Intel GMA, 4GB DDR3, etc,... If SU3500 is for GS45 so any core 2 duo with socket P will work in this machine. As far as the difference of CPU voltage is concerned, i am just talking about performance. Is it possible to replace SU3500 with any SocketP core 2 duo????

Thanks

processor comparison for TV tuner card purchase

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:24:47 GMT

Due to my D100 DirecTV receiver pooping out I purchased a DirecTV HD receiver from Best Buy (does not record). It has HDMI, component, s-video, and composite outputs. Lacking is an F-connector output now. When I purchased my Dell XPS Gen5 Windows XP MCE 2005 desktop in 2005 it included an Emuzed TVT3 TV tuner card. It only has an F-connector and s-video inputs including audio inputs. Sometimes I record an old movie or want to record a TV show. I've extended my desktop onto a CRT TV and I use it as a monitor to replay what I may have recorded. However, the quality of the recording via Media Center is poor. I have located a TV tuner card made by AVerMedia AVerTV HD DVR MTVHDDVRR PCI-Express x1 Interface which shows two HDMI connectors. I am aware of the HDMI recording restrictions. At my age I have no interest in recording and/or bootlegging movies. I only want to improve the video of what I may legally record and watch at a latter time. I can't determine from the poor description if they are two inputs or one in and one out. The description specifies system requirements which notes Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz or equivalent AMD CPU. My processor is an Intel Pentium D 830 (3.0GHz) w/Dual Core Technology (whatever that is). I would appreciate knowing if my computer is capable of supporting this AVerMedia TV tuner card before purchasing? p.s. I read an article online regarding a KWorld TV tuner card with component video inputs but I can't locate where I could purchase one. Thanks for any help.

How can I reduce the Processor ratings Celeron M900 from 900Mhz to 600MHz

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:29:24 GMT

Hello for All, I'm a Engineer and I'm facing a problem.

We have a DOS application runs since 1995, on the begin of this year the Siemens Company updated your PC477 to PC477B and the processor ratings increased from 600Mhz to 900 MHz and this is the problem, with this rating our application doesn't work.

Is there a way to reduce the rating, Or something to do for the Processor 900MHz works likes 600 MHz.

Note: I need to do something in DOS or in the BIOS.

Thanks in advance.

Buying an overclocked i5?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:53:40 GMT

I see there are many different overclocked I5's and i7's on sale.

And I wondered why anyone would buy these?

I'm especially looking at a core i5 750 normally running @2.66 which is brought up to 3.2 here.
They say they tested them on a 100% workload for 6 hours straight and say that it will work. Price is relatively cheap but the cooler is still the same.

So would you recommend buying one of those? Or would you say that chances are too high that this thing will be a wreck sooner or later, especially when you're planning to game for some hours straight?

Here's the link, if you're interested

Why discrepancy in theoretical vs STREAM-measured Nehalem memory bandwidths?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:19:12 GMT

Hello everyone,

My apologies for the cross-post - I think this is the relevant forum, I had accidentally asked a similar question in the "open port IT" forums..

I have two questions about theoretical vs actual memory bandwidth performance of Nehalem processors. I would very much appreciate the guidance of someone who knows the architecture.

1) I am wondering why the theoretical memory interface bandwidth on Nehalem processors is not close to what the STREAM benchmark gives (which is designed to give indealized streaming data)?

With a memory interface that has 3 channels running DDR3-1333 at 1333 MHz, I understand that the theoretical memory bandwidth should be:

BW_theoretical = 1333 megatransfers per second (including DDR) * 3 channels * 64 bit wide bus / (8 bits/byte) = 32,000 MB/s ~ 32GB/s per socket

The above is also what I see online http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=37106, and even on some non-Intel sites so it sounds right.

On the other hand, it is commonly reported that Nehalem-based Xeon 5500 series processors (X5550, E5520, etc) get about 15-17GB/s per socket, or up to about 37GB/s in a dual-socket configuration (e.g. http://www.advancedclustering.com/company-blog/stream-benchmarking.html).

Why the difference? What determines the memory bandwidth when you have an idealized situation where each CPU has the data in its local memory, and it is streaming a continuous data stream from or to memory.

2) Does the memory bandwidth depend on the CPU clock frequency (e.g. 2.66 vs 2.93 vs 3.33 GHz), and if so, why when the memory bus is 1333MHz fixed always? (it appears that it does, but I wasn't able to find a nice test that shows the dependence clearly). And, is there a simple way one can calculate mem bw vs. cpu speed (like I did above without CPU accounted), as a result?

Thank you for your help!

Compatible Motherboards For Intel P4 3.0GHz HT

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 09 May 2009 19:05:09 GMT

Hi,

I have the following in my PC:-

Processor:-
Intel P4 3.0GHz HT //Prescott //478 mPGA socket // 90mm

Motherboard:-

Intel 865GBF

My processor is pretty fast(not as much the top end core 2 duo extreme or nehalem, but definitely faster and usual 2ghz core 2 duo etc) but my M/B only has DDR1 slots and not PCIe or PCIeX slots that are used now a days for

the gaming or graphic card as AGP's are pretty obsolete and comparitively costly.
So can you please suggest some M/B's which have DDR2/DDR3 slots and the recent PCIe and PCIeX as well which are

compatible with my processor.

Regards,
Pradipto Moitra

P.S.:- I live in Delhi, India

I7 920MX overheat in turbo mode?

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:14:42 GMT

Hello

I bought a dell m15x laptop with i7 920xm last month, and I found a very srtange problem. When I play a game, the frame rate drops usually, and came back again, it's like a loop.

After a few day's observe, I found that the problem was caused by the turbo mode. The frequency of 920xm is 2Ghz normally, and seems it will increase to 3.2Ghz if I play a game, but like I said, the frame rate of game drops, and I can see the cpu frequency drops to 1.5Ghz(by using cpuz), then came back to 3.2Ghz. If I turn off the turbo mode, the cpu will be ok, and the frequency is 2Ghz all time.

I called dell, and they said this is caused by overheat, so cpu decreased the frequency for self protection, and told me that turbo mode is not good for gaming, suggested me to turnoff the turbo mode. I am very curious, because the cpu temperature was not too high(75 degree max, usually about 65-70), is this going to make the cpu lower it's frequency in order to lower the temperature? And is turbo mode not good for gaming? Thanks

By the way, I am not the only one who has this problem.

then i look inside the pc and i touch the CPU's cooler the thing were maded by metal was too hot i thought it was not normal and took a look to bios

and all the settings at bios are turned to default then i set some basic settings but

i have no idea what sould i do for cpu configuration. motherboard have an award bios and using "P4 2.6 ghz" CPU

and there are some options like that at the bios

CPU speed [Manuel] or [2667]Mhz

CPU Frequency multiple [1x.........]

CPU External Frequancy [100.......]

there was a many options like that but they have two alternative like auto or digits and all of that set to auto because there was written "recommended" by bios

but that options have no auto choice and there was some digits and manuel option instead of this and i dont know what they should set to.

any suggestion or where can i find

for a maximum performance and also safely using without any damage on system so im a poor man i have not so much money to lose

thanks a lot ......

Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:13:02 GMT

I found a small notebook I want that comes with the SU3500 processor. My confusion is whether it is a 32Bit or 64Bit processor. The OS that comes with it is XP Pro- Not the 64Bit edition. Several sites I have visited says this processor "supports" 64Bit processing. The specification page for this processor states "Intruction Set-64 Bit". Does that mean it normally runs in 32Bit mode? I would prefer a 32Bit procesor due to having quite a few older XP programs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank-You

I have just made up a media centre for use in the home. It is using the Intel Atom 330 duo core 2 Proccessor.

How does the Atom 330 compare with those proccessors higher lower or similar.?

2 Duo Mobile Processor: Thermal Diode offset

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:40:15 GMT

We're running thermal tests on systems w/ Core 2 Duo L7400 processor. The processor's thermal diode is connected to a temp monitoring MAX1617 (read w/ SeepdFan). L7400 data sheet (Document Number: 320120-004 March 2009) section 5.1.1 "Thermal Diode" says: * "When using the thermal diode, a temperature offset value must be read from a processor Model Specific Register (MSR) and applied. See section 5.1.2 for more details." We'd like to find the MSR location that contains this "temperature offset value". We've searched through: * " Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual Volumes 3A & 3B: System Programming Guide"( Document Numbers 253668-032US & 253669-032US Sept 2009) ** We looked especially closely at Appendix B "MSRs". However, we cannot find the "temperature offset value". Does anyone know where the MSR with this thermal diode offset value is?? * This diode reading responds dramatically to Stressit exercise, much more so than the L7400 internal core temperature readings.

INTEL CORE 2 DU0 T65OO VT SUPPORT PROBLEM

k.h.byazid@gmail.com — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:39:18 GMT

Hi,

I have been trying to use Windows Xp mode in widows 7 for last few days...when i run the detection tool for checking the system compatibility,i get an error saying my Hardware does not support VT(Hardware virtualization technology)..

So far i know my processor supports VT...Till July 11 2009 Intel claimed that this processor have VT support...but yesterday I checked my processor properties using Processor detection...and i have found..my processor actually does not support it...

I am really sorrry to say that...i bought my laptop Dell studio 1555 with Intel T6500 processor only for VT support..now its became worthless for me..

somebody told me that,in my previous Bios release there was an option for Enabling and disabling VT option...But in the new one,there is no such option..

Got the same exact model, but now it won't boot into vista unless I turn off multiplexing, so i only have one core active.

When its on, it just hangs at the screen BEFORE the windows logo, just a blinking underscore that goes on forever.

Core 2 CPU E7400 vs XEON processor

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 11 May 2009 12:40:20 GMT

I just finished building and installing Windows Web Server 2008 using Intel board S3210SHLC with a Core 2 CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz and on boot I am not receiving 2 beeps, boot message states error code 8180; bios does not support the surrent stepping for processor and somewhere else it states hyper-threading is not capable. My Bios is now at .0046.

Should I have went with a XEON processor?? Will I have problems with the E7400 processor down the road?

Any info would be great.

Thanks

and the manual states this processor needs a Thermally Advantage Chassis (TAC) verions 1.1, which maintains an internal ambient tempature at or

below 38 degrees celcius.Manuaul states a pentium 4 processor also reuquires this. so, does this means my vgcrb38g chassis is a Thermally Advantage Chassis? I went to the people i thought should be able to answer this question - Sony - but know they directed me to this site.

can some help me...please....i am a nubi and i do not want to burnout my processor

Q6600 - trouble installing a (64-bit) OS

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 14 May 2009 13:42:31 GMT

Dear Intel Processor Board Community,

I am running a Q6600, DG33TL, 4GB 800Mhz RAM, Nvidia 8500, and (32-bit) Windows 7 (RC). Monday, I decide that I wanted to see if I could improve my user experience by moving to (64-bit) OS. So I download and burned the 64-bit version of Windows 7 (RC).

Failed Attempt #1 to install (64-bit) Windows 7 (RC) went like this: I inserted the DVD into my DVD-ROM whilst the (32-bit) version of Windows 7 was running and simply double-clicked on the 'setup' executable from within My Computer. Guess what happened? Yep, it gave me an error 'Hey dummy your OS is not compatible with the program your trying to run - it may be that one is 32-bit & the other is 64-bit.' Doh!

Failed Attempt #2 to install (64-bit) Windows 7 (RC) went like this: I did a hard reboot in order to boot from my DVD-ROM drive. O.K. I don't have the best memory...but to the best of my recollection this is what I saw:

Which version of the CD-ROM would you like boot?

Lines 1 & 2 are totally blank and the system is asking me to choose between them? That's just confusing!

So I choose (1) and guess what happens? Yep, it freezes my system.

to the point that I must turn off/on the power at the power supply.

Failed Attempt #3 ...I choose (2) and guess what happens? Yep, it freezes again.

Question:

1.) I have noticed that Amazon stresses the fact that they only sell the 'BX80562Q6600 SLACR, with G0 stepping' version of the Q6600. How can I tell what version and stepping my Q6600 is? What's wrong with the non-SLACR version of the Q6600?' Could that be my problem?

2.) What is likely causing my system to present (2) blank options for me to choose from when I attempt to boot from DVD-ROM? Why do you think it freezes when I make a selection?

3.) By moving to a (64-bit) OS would you expect my user experience to improve? Any drawbacks of moving from a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS that I should be aware of?

Thanks

P45 3 oxid. CPU Pins can destroy a cpu?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:37:35 GMT

Hello, thanks for beeing here.

I hope my english is goog enough to tell my Problem.

I have a Q9550 CPU E0 and at last a XFX.780i Mainboard and would like to change to Intel Chipset again.

I buyed a not new Mainboard Gigabyte EP45-UD3 first Revision.

The Seller, a User from FurumLuxx in germany told me, the Mainboard ist fully functional and had no Problems in the Past.

After a time for aclimat. the Board to my roomtemp, I began to build the System with my Parts.

As I realise the first Start from the UD3P and my Q9550, with my OCZ-Reaper-HPC PC8500 Ram Modules the Board goes promptly off and restarts self.

After that the Board was reebooting like in a loop with no end, bevor the Bios Post was to see.

Sometmes the Bios Screen Picture from the Gigabyte Board was to see.

Naturly I had mad before a Bios Reset, by closing the Bios Jumper for a view minutes.

As there where no way to start the system with this board, a build back to my 780i Board.

The Board starts first rormaly and the System Vista x64 boots. After a view minutes the system shoots down and there were no way

to start the mainboard again.

The Power Supply falls into the Securety Power Switch (dont know how to tell it other)

And only if I switch off the Power Sub. for a view moments the Power switch from the Mainboard is without function.

Than I taked a look at the Ud3P Mainboard and I saw that there are 3 CPU Pins look like with oxidation on the Pin heads.

These are the Pwith the names, found in the Socket 775 Datashead.

1. AM10 Named as VSS is for Power/Other

2. AB4 Named as A26# is for Source Sync

3. AB5 Named as A24# is for Source Sync

The Question now is: Could these 3 Pins, or some or one from it, destroy my CPU, so that the destroyed CPU destroy my 780i Mainboard????

At last I had buyed a other new Mainboard a Asus P5Q-SE II.

The CPU there was running, but only with deactivatet ACPI/APIC function, and without compatibility with x64 Software like Vista x64.

With active APIC/ACPI the Vista x64 and the Vista x86 Boot DVD let the System reboots if the DVD starts to boot, also with any Linux Knoppix Versions and XP Life Versions.

With deactivatet APIC/ACPI the Vista x64 DVD also let the System reboot after the DVD starts to loaand bevor the Language Selection is to use.

Only x86 Vista I could install, but after the Instal was complete with loading Updates and instal the newest Drivers, I hat realized, that there is only 1 CPU and not all 4.

Who can tell me, whats happend, or what could happend.

I hope for a answer.

Greets from Germany.

I purchased this processor in the beginning of the year and I never reach stability under load. I always used stock speed and the stock fan that came with the processor. I got always a complete system freeze after a period of heavy load between 10 min and 1 hour. My ambient temperature is 25 degrees C. My idle temperature are between 40-50 C (confirmed by latest bios, speedfan, realtemp) and my 100 % load temperature reach 60-70 in 10 min, after 20 min, it can be over 75 but I never seen 80 since the system will freeze.

I know that my memory is stable. My graphic card (eVGA 8800 GTS 640 MB) is not the problem also (I tried another card and still have the issue). My chassis is heavily ventilated, I'm using a Antec P182 with 2 more fan as intake and everything as high RPM. My motherboard is Asus P5N-D with the optional northbridge fan installed. I know the problem is hardware since the stability problems occur under vista 32 bits, linux and windows 7 RC1.

I'm now 90% sure that the stock fan is purely inadequate for this CPU. It was perfectly installed at the origin and I recently clean everything and reapply thermal paste using exactly the Arctic Silver procedure. The heatsink/fan is perfectly sitted. Finally, I got the exact same temperature problem.

Now I decided to order a quality CPU cooler because I'm so tired to crash. I chose the Noctua NH-U12P and had to pay $79 more just to get the hope to reach stability at stock speed. Why Intel shipped this CPU with an inadequate cooler? Normally I would expect at least some kind of stability from an expensive CPU. I'm really disappointed. What step should I take next?

Intel Processor ID Utility Reporting Low CPU Speed on i7 920

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 16:13:43 GMT

As the title states, the utility shows the "expected" CPU speed is 2.67 ghz on this processor, however, it is "reporting" at 1.59 ghz. I'm not sure whats causing this because the two speeds should match. I have already done an RMA for a new processor with the same results. I've tried various MB bios settings but nothing has helped. I'm using a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R MB. Any input would be great. Thank you.

[[question]] l2 cache access time

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:36:36 GMT

hi~ nowadays, the most of multi-core on a chip such as quad core or dual core have each l2 cache on each core.

I wander if I access other l2 cache in other core, the access time is different compare to l2 cache in own core.

I mean is it different access timer between own l2 cache and l2 cache other cores include.

And How do I get this information??

I can't find intel manual. so I want to know where I can get infomation.

Can one disable intelligent power capability in X3370?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:49:45 GMT

I have an X3370 that runs slower under light load, though all known power saving features are disabled in the OS (Linux kernel 2.6.28). My understanding is that the intelligent power capability disables some function units so programs will take longer to run, even though clock rate is full. Is there any simple means to disable this feature? By controllable I mean one can turn it on and off by issuing some command. I don't mind coding the command myself if I know how to. Thank you.

Ancient SL356 & SL3R3 compatibility - need help

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:00:20 GMT

Don't laugh - this is a genuine query!

This relates to a very old model PC (1998/9), so might not be many people who can answer this one...

I have an old PCCHIPS M726 motherboard, that is fitted with a Intel Pentium II 350MHz CPU with 512 KB cache size. It is mounted in a slot 1 connection. On the CPU board it says SL356. The manual I have that came with the PC for the M726 motherboard states that it’s compatible with up to 500Mhz but the manual’s version number is lower than the actual version number on the mb itself, which may mean that the later mb can handle a higher speed CPU (I’m hopeful).

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL356

I also happen to have an old Intel Pentium III 550 MHz CPU with 256 KB cache size.

It is fitted on a 370-pin board compatible with my PC’s slot 1 mounting socket and it does fit.

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL3R3

However, I’m not knowledgeable about the technical specifics and I really don’t know if these two are compatible.

I would like to use the P3 CPU in place of the P2 CPU but want to check for advice first before I try using it. I would like to know before I blow up my motherboard or any of its components.

Can anyone advise please?

T9500 processor

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:32:23 GMT

I recently purchased a 'new' T9500 cpu on E-bay to replace a T5550. It has the SLAYX marking on the top, however CPU-Z identifies this processor as a T9500 (ES). The processor didn't come in retail packaging. Is the SLAYX cpu an ES cpu? Or did I get did I buy an ES cpu re-labeled as an SLAYX?

Hi,

I am at the point of building my own machine and would like to have the compacity to game in hd, multitask, watch blue ray dvds,operate windows in 64bit, and so on. I was looking at a few higher end Intel processors and wanted to have those abilities at a reasoble cost without being to concerned about what challenges will be thrown our way in the next couple years and fears of becoming outdated to soon. I am not looking for the best however, what is it gonna take to achieve these abilities without digging to deep into my pocket?

I put a intel pentium 4 on a intel celeron socket

tales_52@hotmail.com — Tue, 19 May 2009 23:52:42 GMT

first, i take a intel pentium 4 (intel destop board D845EPI) and i put in a intel celeron (compaq presario 4420la). both procesors are of 478pin, teh pentium 4 is 2.23ghz and the celeron is 1.7ghz, the cache for both are l1/l2 20/512kb.

the thing is this, the p4 works fine on the mother board, but wath i want to know is if there is a software or a page where i can update the bios, because the bios is like asking me for it, the os works fine, i am actually writing this from this computer that have the p4.

i am asking here because i havent'n find anything in the hp website, i dont find the compatibility for the socket of the celeron, i dont even know what kind of version or type of procesor, all i know is that is a celeron with 1.7ghz.

so thats what i want to know, if there is a software that can patch my bios for suport better the p4 or if there is no problem having the p4 in the place of the celeron.

everything you can give is wellcome, and forgive my english, i am spanish.

Are these normal temperatures for I7-920?

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 31 May 2009 23:52:26 GMT

So I have less than a week that I took my new set with:
Intel I7 - 920 (stock heatsink)
Kingston DDR3 2048 x 3 1333Mhz (KVR1333D3N9/2G)
Asus P6T WS Pro

Lam-Tech power supply 550W
etc on a cooler master chase.

The room's temperatures are around 25C to 26C and humidity at 80% (aouch I know).

I hadn't stretched the CPU at all till today cause the maximum I could get out of it was about 26% while brute forcing and installing programs simultaneously and was very happy with the speed. However I badly wanted to see loading at 100%. Got real temps that I've heard that works good on it and prime 95 for the cooling down temp. But the results...... :S

[IMG]http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu315/B3bis/Untitled-1.jpg[/IMG]

Are these temperatures close to normal? :S I have installed the stock heat sink very carefully with the pre-installed thermal paste on it (well my finger took a little) and now?

(Oh I have the chase open and one 120mm fan behind at full rpm)

I have the serious and very bad feeling that it is not a heatsink problem because while the temperatures rose I could (barely but indeed) feel a small increase on the heatsink temps...

Hey guys just built a new system a bit ago and in the BIOS it's showing as the turbo boost ratio being 21 while non turbo is 20. That's giving me 2.8GHz while turbo'd is there any sort of setting I need to change to get the 3.2? I thought it was like that out of the box. I'm not too experienced so bear with me.

Upgrading processor & Windows 7

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:27:37 GMT

Hi,

I installed Windows 7 yesterday, and it's running pretty sluggish using a Celeron D processor, so I want to upgrade to a Core 2 Duo using the same motherboard. I know the MOBO and processor are compatible, so I'm really concerned with the interaction of Windows and a new processor.

I installed using an OEM system builder version, which is tied to the machine rather than the user. So my question is this: will Windows see a new processor as a new computer, or will it be ok since I'm using the same MOBO?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad Cpu Q8300 @ 2.50GHz Does it Do HW Virtualization

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 19:17:55 GMT

How can I tell if this CPU is capable of running Hardware Virtualization. It is in a Dell Studio 540s with 6gb of memory and a 1tb hard drive. The BIOS doesn't have an option to turn it on that I can see. Dell was very vague about it. I need to run vmware with some 64bit virtual machines inside and I'm coming to the conclusion this won't work. It seems odd to me that such a powerful machine wouldn't have this feature. Does anybody know if there might be a hidden option somewhere? Thanks

What happens on a L2 Prefetch Rqst hit on the core 2 duo?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:54:01 GMT

The core 2 duo has HW performance counters that measure L2_Rqsts_Self_Prefetch_MES and L2_Rqsts_Self_Prefetch_I. My understanding is that L2_Rqsts_Self_Prefetch_I measures the following event: a HW prefetch request has been issued for a line that is not in L2 and hence needs to be brought in from memory (an L2 miss). Is this correct? If this is correct, then I assume, L2_Rqsts_Self_Prefetch_MES measures HW prefetch requests that hit in L2. So, now my question is, is there a cost for HW prefetch requests that hit in L2? And if so how much? It seems to me that any HW prefetch request that hits in L2 is redundant (because the subsequent access to the line would be a hit, regardless). So, we could probably save a few cycles if we can detect this situation. The savings would be really big if there were situations where the requested line is brought in from memory even if it is an L2 hit (i.e., if the L2 check is done after the prefetch reqeust has been sent to memory). Does that ever happen?

Bonjour,

Avez vous un logiciel pour vos extreme édition. Merci de me répondre.

Virtualization on Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E7400

prashant.ruby@gmail.com — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:43:48 GMT

Hi,

Last week I bought a PC which has Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E7400 (3M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB).

This processor has following information printed on its box:

Freq: 2.80 GHz

Core: 45nm

FSB: 1066 MHz

Socket: LGA775

L2 Cache: 3MB

PCG: 06

Prod Code: BX80571E7400

S-spec: SLB9Y

MM #: 900516

FPO/Batch #: 3849A455

Ver#: E53246-001

Pack date: 02/26/09

My initial idea was to play with Intel virtualization technology. For the some purpose I bought this processor few days back.

But I installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 on my machine and tried to run my system, then my PC got rebooted i.e. It was not able to run Virtual PC on the system.

Later I tried to find the reason for this and find out that this program requires Virtualization support on processor and unfortunately the processor which does not have this , so I am not able to run virtual machines on my computer.

Manier of the vendor sites are showing that this processor supports virtualization, so I bought this.

So is there any way I can run Virtual machine on this processor? If not then it seems that all my money gone waste.

Regards

Prashant, India

Q6600 BSOD, Graphics/OpenGL ?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:15:16 GMT

Ok. I've had a Q6600 for two years now, and just kind of worked around a problem that just isn't going away. Think I have a faulty CPU. I've went through 4 mother boards, Asus Republic two different models, EVGA and Gigabyte. Back to my Republic Gamer ASUS. Several combo's of RAM, MushKin, Corsair, OCZ, Kingston, Crucial. 3 Different Video cards. 4 Power Supply's nothing less the 900W. Issue is this. Os's have been 2003 server, xp x86/x64, Vista x86/x64 and Now Win 7 prof, x86. Same issue. I've checked power, voltages, etc,etc,etc. Like I said, I've replaced every part and trouble shooted just about everything.

If I try to do anything that is graphic intensive at all, games, online games "qlive", anything, BSOD. It even BSOD's when I have a few images open in Visio, or PDF's. Even Google earth. All most like the CPU has issues with OPenGL or something. Like i said, for a few years now I've dealt with it with a odd work around.

If I start an appliation that usually BSOD's the machine, go to processes and turn off two of the PID id's, doesn't BSOD, at all. The combonation has been O and 2 to turn off. Now, if I don't use anything that is graphic intensive, etc,etc..No issues at all.

I'm thinking bad CPU or bad cores or something.. Thoughts?

Decision x5570 or w5580 when using 3D Applications

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:34:04 GMT

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen out there,

I need your help and knowledge for a decision.
I'm going to buy a new workstation at Dell company within the next 4 weeks.
I will use it mainly with 3D applications Maya and Rhino.
It will be a dual processor workstation and uses one of the following processors:

x5570 or w5580.

I know about the basic technical differences:
x5570 2,93 GHz 95W
w5580 3,20 GHz 130W

But when reading technical forums it is sometimes said, the x5570 is specified for server applications while the w5580 is made for workstation use.
So besides powerconsuming and clockspeed, are there any markable differences with the application running?
Will a x5570 handle Maya or general Rendering actions any different then a w5580 does?

Thank you very much for your help
Regards,

Stefan

How to Upgrade the processor on my laptop Sony VGN-SZ110

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:09:25 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a 3 years old Sony VIAO VGN-SZ110 laptop. I have a Intel Centrino Duo T2400 @ 1.83 GHz and I would like to upgrade the processor. My first guest would be to look up the newest Sony laptop from the same series and see what processor it uses, buy and use that one.

I think the newest and last of this series is Sony VAIO VGN-SZ750N/C 13.3-inch with a 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 Processor

Can I use this one or a faster processor? If it was that easy, it would be great, but I wanted to check with an expert that could provide me with some guidance. Also, do I have to upgrade the BIOS to work with the faster processor, or anything else.

Thanks in advance for the help.

RAM CORSAIR DDR3TW3X4G1333C9A PC3-10666 4GB Kit 9-9-9-24 240pin DIMM
WD HDD 640 GB
VGA ATI RADEON 4650 1GB ddr2

When I'm trying to install whatever 64bit OS I receive blue screens during

the installation process. The errors are such ntfs.sys or numbers like

0x00000024

I cannot find where is the problem.I updated the bios with the latest

update,tried with default settings,tried to change settings to bios the fsb

and the memory latency the voltage everything and have the same results the

blue screen.Also tried to change the HDD,power supply, tried with different

media,tried with different dvd rom the same result!
I have checked to change the VGA,make memory test with mmtest no errors.
I have unpluged all usb devices and internal pci cards again the same

PROBLEM!I have tried with different RAMs again the same issue.
Finally I have tried to another Mobo Asrock to install there the CPU if I

have a problematic CPU but install successfully vista 64bit.All cables inside

the desktop are changed with news ones
So the result is BSOD!!!
I do not know what else to try.I have changed everything
Obviously I think there is a compatibility issue between the Asus mobo with

Corsair RAM or with CPU.
Any suggestions will be preferable
Thanks in advance guys!

I have just built a new computer from NewEgg and "finally" got the Vista Home to load. It was crashing before I even could get Vista installed. Long story short I have replaced the video card and didn't help. I pulled one Corsair 2 G memory module and finally loaded Windows Vista. When I put the other Corsair 2G memory module in the Intel board it crashes. I downloaded speedfan and the processor was running at 54 C, I took the stock fan up, re-installed the Artic 5 thermal compound getting a very thin coat and it runs at 51C now, but I watched the cores go right up to 85C and then the computer crashed. Do I need an aftermarket cooler for the processor? I admit the stock fan doesn't look very good? Oh, I am using a DP55WB desktop board also.

Im looking into upgrading the processor to a more powerful one as even when I bought it a couple of years ago, it was pretty average. Any suggestions?

I was having a look at the INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9550 as it appears to run on the same power supply and the same socket what do you think?

I'm new to this PC modification business and any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Choosing a cpu with VT support

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:12:23 GMT

I think this should be a simple question. I was going to order a Dell T100 server and there's a choice of 10 cpu options. I'll be running WinServer 2008 R2. I want to ensure I get a cpu with hardware virtualization support (VT). I know for sure that at least one of them doesn't, but I think a couple of them do. Could somebody tell me which of these have cpu virtualization?

I7 920 IMC problem or 100% MOBO problem?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:15:13 GMT

First of all, hello everyone. I joined this board hoping to find an answer to my question. Is it my motherboard or my I7 IMC has gone haywire? So here goes, sorry for the lenghty post.

1. This picture shows my PC, with 3 G-SKILL RAM Sticks populating the tri-channel slots.

2. The following picture shows how much memory my BIOS actually detects :

As one can see, I have 2 GB missing. So, I started the troubleshooting process. I said its the RAM stick. It broke last night in MEMTEST.

1. Used all sticks in that slot, no go.
2. Used all sticks in the 2nd slot, everything works fine.
3. Used all sticks in the 3rd slot, everything works fine.
4. Used all sticks in the 4th slot, everything works fine.

When I use slots 1, 3, 4 I have 4GB RAM, when I use slots 2,3,4 I have 6GB or RAM. Obviously something happened with this memory channel. Because UD3R does not have memory re-mapping in its BIOS, as an option, but it fully supports it, without it I could not use the computer 2 months with 6GB in tri-channel mode, the explanation is that the mobo broke.

What windows 7 reports when I use 1,3,4.

I spent all night lont trying to fix this problem. Some new info and data for you to digest.

1. Let's confirm one more time that I am using the tri-channel slots and not the dual channel ones. So there you have it, 1, 3, 4

So yeah, everything is fine, I got the right slots. Lets look now at something. This was earlier in the day. Since then, I've taken out the battery 20 times, I've reset the jumper, I flashed the thing back and forth, am using the latest BETA BIOS for my REV 1.6 called FD4.

This was earlier in the day :

This is NOW

...and crikey, still off by 2 GB

So there you have it folks, my motherboard recognises the RAM stick, but it can't add it to the other 4GB in tri-channel mode. Talk about unlucky.

Operating temps for QX6700

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:43:59 GMT

I hope this is the correct forum. What is the operating thermal range for the QX6700 processor? I am concerned that the cpu is getting too hot but without that info, I have no real clue. My cpu temps range from 40c at cold boot to 60c + under load.

Thanks

Problem with upgrading a Pentium 4, from 1.8Ghz to 2.66Ghz

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 20 May 2009 06:29:39 GMT

I was Working on a older computer to add to the network and had some other Pentium 4's laying around. So I looked up the board specs (Intel D845GRG) and it said it can support a 2.66Ghz Pentium with the BIOS at least a BIOS Version of P06 or later.

The problem is that It limits it to 2Ghz and only lets the FSB run at 400Mhz when it need to run at 533Mhz

I have BIOS Version P19 on it now.

Is there any way to unlock it to run at 544Mhz FSB to get 2.66Ghz

----or is the borad locked to 400Mhz FSB---
