It's E2140, using normal voltage.

In Reply to: RE: FSB frequency is only 100Mhz with Biostar P4M900-M7 SE. Is this how it should be? posted by cics on January 27, 2008 at 00:11:01

CPU-Z shows core speed 600MHz (instead of 1200), bus speed 100, Rated FSB 400. Core voltage 1.168.

Something doesn't seem right. Will try to update MB drivers with the latest (from Biostar site, now everything's installed from CD).

Any idea what could be wrong?

I had the same thing, but when you change the FSB to 201 and save and then back to 200, tada !!!

That's very strange!

Try updating BIOS - should this not resolve it then fault is most likely with mobo. Have it replaced.

  I flashed BIOS with the latest, and I could swear that reboot right after that still yeilded the same wrong numbers in CPU-Z. But, shortly after that it all became normal (1.2 GHz CPU core, 800 MHZ FSB) and stays normal.
  Go figure.

    What exact version of BIOS file did you flash with? Did you have to use DOS/Floppy, or was there a Windows app? I've been having the exact same issue. This board seems to be pretty touchy.

      For Biostar P4M900-SE, use this BIOS (2007-08-03 without logo) . There's a BIOS utility (2.67MB) that you can use to flash BIOS from Windows - download it from same link provided.

    That's great!
    
    Sorry - should've mentioned immediately after reflash, power down, do CMOS reset (using jumpers) then perform 'Load Optimized Defaults' in BIOS. Thereafter reset BIOS to correct values.
