My core speed and multiplier, according to CPU Z, keeps fluctuating from 1600MHz x6 to 2400MHz x9. What the hell does this mean and what can I do to fix it?

Yeah its an intel core 2 quad q6600 so and a P31e chipset so that might be the problem. I'll check the bios.

Yeah, then pretty much guaranteed its the speedstep. Just disable and should be fine.

dixxhead, great utility that has shown this is a throttling issue, imo. however, the settings do not keep the throttling inactive. how does one keep the throttling inactive? note: I am aware that built-in refinements such as throttling are not there for grins. with speedfan, my core temp is not changing more than 1C from 99% to idle load. with such a minor temp fluctuation, I assume it safe to investigate with monitor. your advice is appreciated.
thanks.

ntdouglas, please explain, I am trying to figure this out and it appears maybe a combination of factors to get this working as desired. I mentioned in a previous post that speedstep did nothing but lower the max to 798MHz on this dell. I just experimented with rmclock235 with speedstep disabled, I could not get the core speed over 798.
dixxhead, I have an admission, there was some dust built up on one of the fans, not much but it is a small fan. temp now at 58C, I know, stupid. I choose my account name wisely, it now appears. even though cooler, still have the step down from the expected max core speed.
the question I have: why are my rmclock settings not permanent?
thanks.
