ripken204 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 well its stock speed is 1.8ghzwhat exactly is cpuz showing you? i would definetly say that cnq has something to do with it, try disabling cnq and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prx984 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 The AMD chips achieve a higher speed at a lower clock speed, thus the 3000. My 1800+ is 1.53GHz, which is what Windows sees it as, but it runs like a 1.8ghz processor of equivalence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) well leave it disabled for now. try going into ur overclocking page of the bios and manually set the cpu speed to 1800. Edited January 25, 2007 by ripken204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 That CPU isn't on the officially supported list on ECS' site...but that doesn't always mean anything.Have you tried installing the latest Athlon 64 processor driver? The link is 2/3's of the way down on this page:http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Techni...71_9706,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amd64 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 thanks for the replys peeps, i'm wating to hear from ECS. but it seems that i have a not to well documented proc.i have a AMN3000BIX5AP,,,,, and yup it is one of those horrid SH-CO models.i was using the proc for testing the capabilities of the ECS 755-A2 M/B to see if the ITE8705F chip was working ,,, lolthe proc usually resides in my acer1500 lappy. and a sempron 64 1800+ was purchased for the M/Beverything works fine in my lappy, so its not the proc. the same windows disc ws used for both installs (testing purposes only)so its not the OS.i'll just have to wait till i hear from ECS. but you would think that a proc as old as the athlon64 and a board as old as the 755-A2 would work together... but they dont.a well u live and learn.ooooh and yes i have installed the correct drivers.... i hate to say it but i have MCSE, CCNA, HND computer hardware, BSC networking.... loli have come across procs not showing there ID in a bios loads of times and a wrong speed untill correct clock is set,,,, but this one is new to me.regardsamd64i'll keep u informed what ECS say.
