Another problem when Qx9300 meets M4400

My Qx9300 is clocked at 1.6 GHz at low usage and 2.53GHz when loading.
But it cames a problem that sometimes it downclocks even when i was playing games, and it makes a lot of drop of FPS. Is there any way to disable this frequency control function?

I have no idea if it's a temprature issue or not.

I have found an frequency control option in M4400 BIOS (A11 revision), but it fix my Qx9300 to 1.6 G not 2.53G lol

Seems it set the frequency by modifying the multiplier from 9 to 6.

I was wondering is the M4400 BIOS was not designed for multipier-unlocked
CPUs. Maybe Q9100 won't do that.

So, is anyone out there have same problem?

 

Sounds like overheating. Check with hwmonitor during games to see how high your temps got. http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php

 

for temps, read this:
Monitoring Notebook Temps: nVidia & ATI, CPU, HDD

if your QX9300 is an ES (Engineering Sample) version, then it probably won't have temp sensors.

and if you want to force full clock speed, set your Windows Power Options at "Max Performance"

 

Download HWMonitor and report your temps.

Edit: beaten be milliseconds twice over.

 

My X9100 ES does,killerjack has posted temp's before so his must have as well.

he need's to paste his cpu properly,20 or so deg above other people's QX9300's in the same notebook is an indication that the job wasn't done properly,or there is some other underlying problem.....using a self spreading microblob TIM like Tuniq tx-2 or OCZ freeze will do a better job and tell you if there is a heatsink to core mismatch by how well it spread's after the heatsink is screwed down and then removed again [clean everything and re do it after this]

Notebook hardware control is better than window's power management imo.

So does my ES. It depends on how far along in the development stage your processor was made. I haven't heard of very many people that actually got an ES without temp sensors.

 

the temprature are now at 55'c gaming..And there was no lag anymore.
I don't know why it became cool now...

Maybe the room temprature affects a lot..

That lag problem I have mentioned happened when I was running a 3d game without any break about 2 days.

But these two days the nature temprature drops about 5 degree, and I opened my window to keep my room cool, that problem disapears.
