So the problem is that I updated my BIOS on my motherboard to the latest one then opened CPU-Z and it is reporting that my BCLK is no longer running at 100.00 but 100.16-100.18 (switching between the two) I don't know how this has started or why it has started any ideas?

(see signature for system configuration)

Ok, but why has this started happening? I have abit of OCD and like round numbers, how can I fix this? What has changed to make this occur?
 
It's probably Auto in the BIOS for some reason - but even when set in the BIOS it won't be exact. I've often had to set my board's BCLK to 100.5MHz to get it to say 100MHz in CPU-Z. Either way it is nothing to worry about.

You should be able to mess around with it in the BIOS.

It is not a problem that it needs fixing. Try setting it to say 100.1 or 100.0 manually. Usually when you set it at say 100.1, it will actually be a little bit lower or higher so you can alter it accordingly. However, generally this is just the way things work, we live in an analogue world so even digitising everything does not always mean we will have everything in control.
