I've got the CPU above in a relatively new build with good components. It used to run at the full 4.7Ghz when under load but I noticed today that it wasn't. The PC runs absolutely fine and hasn't ever crashed.

Best place to start troubleshooting?
Cheers

Interesting... XMP (and Game Boost) is disabled in the BIOS and when enabled it won't POST. It hangs and sends me back to the BIOS to make changes.
When disabled it boots fine. Do I need to make other changes when XMP is enabled.... Sorry it's been a while since my OC'ing days...
