Unhappy BUS won't show correctly!

Hi guys, having a hell of a time gettings stuff to display corretly. I don't know if it's because of Win7x64 or something setup wrong somewhere.

In my BIOS, BUS shows as 333 (as it should) and multiplier shows as 7 (although it should be 7.5, but my only choices are 7 and 6). I have SpeedStep disabled (although I would like to have it enabled once everything is straightened out).

I first noticed something wasn't right when I looked at CoreTemp and it showed my CPU at 2GHz when it should be 2.5GHz. RealTemp showed the same thing and so does CPU-z. It's also showing my bus speed as 266MHz. Core Voltage is wrong too, BIOS shows it as 1.35.


(Screen taken with Prime95 running)


My memory isn't showing right either. I have that manually set to 1333MHz at 1.7v, but cpu-z is showing it at 1066MHz and 1.5v.

I would like to get everything looking right before I start overclocking, so any help will be greatly apreciated.

Thank you!

you need to disabled speedstep AND C1E. Then it should display correctly, basically these features underclock you to save power

OK, I double checked that C1E and SpeedStep were disabled and they were (although, they shouldn't have been an issue since I was running 100% load in the background). I then discover that Intel released a new BIOS update for the DX38BT. Installed that and presto, CPU and RAM running at full speed!

Thanks for your help though!
