I have a Q6600 with Win 7 64 bit and no problems. Although it's in agreement that the bigger the CPU the better. I don't recall seeing any 'throttling' posts on the Sonar forum. I have a home studio setup with Sonar 8.5.3. I've disabled speedstep in the BIOS, and it does not make any difference, so I am wondering what I can do to finally get my studio running? Is there a BIOS version that can stop this trottling? Would I be better off going to the intel forums for help? There are no programs that we know of that can eliminate the throttling for my processor, as RMclock does not support mine. All BIOS options are the same as the last version.

which (updating BIOS, not particularly these versions) has worked for many others. My computer came with the A03 BIOS which I just updated to A05, thinking it may give me more options to try and shut off the i5 throttling.

After discussions on various forums among other home recording artists, it appears that the throttling of processors contributes to the main reason why there are crackles, pops, clicks, and fuzz when it comes to anything regarding sound.

I then also purchased a M-audio Delta 1010LT pci sound card to record into. Immediately I was encountering sound problems when I would monitor, record, or do anything involving sound, like CDs or youtube. We don`t sell this product.2 Months ago I purchased a Dell Inspiron 580 with intel Core i5 for my home recording system.
