Ok i'm not sure if this goes here, but here is the thing.
My i3 530 is runing @ 3040Mhz, at least that's what CPU-Z shows me,
then i downloaded TMonitor and there, the speed is 1440Mhz and it only goes to 3040Mhz when i do something that needs more CPU power, like a render in 3DS Max.

In both pictures CPU-Z shows 3040Mhz.
Now, the weird thing is that Speedstep and all that "power saving" features are disabled in the BIOS, and when the speed goes down and up i notice a slight lag in what i'm doing, and in games, there are jumps of fps when that happens.
If it helps, is on a Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2H.
I hope someone can help me with that.
