Question QX6850 not running right at all.

Hi this is my first post here so here goes.

I have recently purchased one QX6850 OEM but the cpu seems a little funny to me.

I cant really do more than 2 things at a time with it or it really starts to struggle. Just tonight I tried installing assasin’s creed and open IE and man did it slow down.

Just wondering if you have any ideas at all.

SYS SPECS :
Asus Slient Square CPU Coller.
Thermaltake Toughpower 750 watt.
XFX 790i Ultra Motherboard.
XFX GTX280 XXX Edition.
Team EXTREME DDR-3 1333Mhz
QX6850 SLAFN G0
Western Digital 250GB Sata as primary and 3 other Hard drives just used for storage of pics and stuff.
Proview 19” Wide LCD and 17”LCD Benq as secondary.

If you could help out that would be fantastic as I have contacted the manufacturer and my supplier and they basically couldn’t give a toss.

P.S as a side note when I first removed my old Q6600 and installed the new qx6850, I checked it in bios and it posted telling me that it was running at 5000Mhz with a multi of x9. Then CPUID is picking it up running at 2000mhz core instead of 3000.

I have included a couple of screenies one showing 2000mhz then like a second later showing 3000 so friken wierd.

Thanks in advance.

Got speed step on?

What is the cpu temp? Not overheating is it? Checked for the latest bios for your mobo?

Try completely uninstalling everything related to nvidia ESA. Another guy had a similar problem to yours and fixed it by doing that.

Thanks in advance.
Nothing wrong with that. That's because it automatically steps down the clock speed (by reducing the multiplier) and voltage when the processor is idle in order to save power. If you don't want this to happen, disable C1E & SpeedStep. As for the BIOS, it is reporting the CPU speed wrongly.
