Alright, so I have my CPU normally clocked at exactly 4GHz. I have had it this way for a while. So today, I install a new set of SSDs, nothing out of the ordinary, and I install the Windows 8 Release Preview. After some SSD optimizations with services and whatnot, I install CPU-Z...I was a bit startled to find this..
So I went into the BIOS to check and make sure nothing was different, and NOTHING seems out of the ordinary. Below are pics of the CPU Multiplyer, base clock, Memory clock, etc
Something aiding my dilema would be helpfull >.< I have even disabled all but 1 core on this thing, even after setting all CPU settings back to default, CPU-Z Still reports these settings.
Nothing to worry about, it's probably Windows 8 screwing around with the software. Don't put all your trust in CPU-Z, just look at the BIOS. The BIOS never lies.
It's stable, yes, (i hope lol), but now, even te BIOS is reporting these as what CPU-Z says. After re-flashing the BIOS just in case it was a BIOS issue, BIOS still says what CPU-Z is saying. It bothers me that somehow I can't change these
