I'm running my X-1050 "upside down" because the wiring works better that way, and because it looks better through my case window. I'm wondering if it's safe to run it in this arrangement? Because if I'm not mistaken, the power supply and...

I am indeed using 1.61.3 now and it's showing the same bus speed problem. I understand a lot of people disable C-States, but it seems very worthwhile to allow the processor to idle when it can, since I run my system 24/7. Also, why do...

sbdblyss, you should find C-States under your CPU settings. Looks like once you go into Advanced Mode in the BIOS, you go into CPU Configuration, then scroll down to the very bottom where you'll find CPU Power Management Configuration....

I am getting weird results when I run CPU-Z v1.61 with (and only with) C-States enabled for my processor. The bus speed fluctuates across a pretty broad range. I've seen it drop as low as ~95 and as high as ~105 MHz . It tends to...

Best GPU package I've ever owned. Such an improvement over the GTX 480 toaster oven it replaced

Ok, first here's a vid of CPU-Z 1.61 with C-States enabled, just so you can see what I'm talking about with the whacky bus speed: So that's weird, right? Well, now the program is suspect, because I tried CPU-Z 1.59 like 3930K...

Right now I have C-States disable, no overclock, and BIOS revision 1.3 I just think that I should be able to enable C-States without getting erratic bus speed, don't you? So to me it seems like I probably have either defective hardware,...

I apologize in advance for the long post. I'm just at my wit's end and want to be as thorough as possible describing my issue. I'm having a very bizarre issue with fluctuating bus speed (which I'm monitoring with CPU-Z 1.61.2 x64),...
