I just bought a Mobile 2400+ Barton processor that I put in my Shuttle SN45 XPC. It runs fine at 200x12 at 1.8v. However, when it goes under heavy load (like running a distributed computing project or whatnot), the CPU throttling kicks in and scales the speed back 200-300 MHz. The CPU temperature never goes above 54-55 C, so it's not like the CPU is overheating. I've even had the throttling kick in when the temp was only 52 C.
The SN45 bios does not have any options to adjust the throttling like some nforce 2 boards have. Is there any way to modify the chip or the bios to disable the cpu speed throttling? Or am I just screwed? Thanks.
