Your photo doesn't work.

But I am going to assume that you aren't runnig anything when you checked the speed.

Your CPU will automatically slow down when it doesnt need its full speed for something. You can disable that feature in your bios. But it is good for power saving.

oh sorry... here it is http://imgur.com/pAgyUBb

what does the speed, wenn you gonne stress test the cpu?

It's what all modern cpus do these day. If they're not doing anything they'll lower the multiplyer and run slower and save power. If you turn on a load it will ramp up to full speed.

Pro tip- In your windows power settings

  • Power saver: limits cpu multiplyer to about 50-60% while trying to keep as low as possible
  • balanced: allows multiplyer to flow freely and flucuates alot
  • Performance: Lock multiplyer either at max or close to max for most performance, but will use more power

should i just reset my cmos? i think my asus motherboard overclocked the BCLK or somthing like that with the 4 way optimization. i noticed it about a day later after my computer crashed playing wargame

10

my FX6350 is OC'd to 4.7Ghz

But just typing this comment it's sitting at 1.4Ghz (7x clock) and 2.5Ghz (12.5x clock) [NOTE: I have some other things in the background]

However high perormance locks it at 4.7Ghz (23.5x clock)

11

Oh wait,... I see what you're saying now. that is weird.

resest your cmos if you have to but look through your bios options about power saving

12

yea i have it set to high performance and the minimum processor state is at 100%

13

ok ill give that a try right now. thanks for your help

14

So in my asus bios it was on a overclock preset to 3.60ghz with a BCLK frequency of 103.7. i just restored optimized defaults and it was fixed. Thanks everyone for the help!

15

also- I'm not sure that it was running at .8Ghz to begin with. Task manager is not always accurate. depending on the day TM says I'm running at either 4.3 or 4.5Ghz...

Download cpu-Z for a more accurate reading

Called it.

You could disable intel speedstep. if you don´t want it to get clocked back wenn idleing.
