I build my new system yesterday and have just run CPU-Z on it to look at the frequencies etc and i'm not sure that I have set it up correctly.
Its a QX6850 all at stock and I think CPU-Z is saying its running at 2Ghz.
I found this http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=432&type=expert&pid=9. When I run CPU-Z it looks like the second screenshot even though I have manually changed the multiplier to 9 in the BIOS.
The only difference I can see is the version of CPU-Z, the one in the screenshots is 1.40 and the one im using is 1.40.5.
The article says,
"CPU-Z shot at 'idle' with the BIOS based power management options enabled; note we can only go down to a multiplier of 6x here so the lowest power-saving frequency is 2.0 GHz"
Does this mean I need to change some power management settings in the BIOS or am I misunderstanding waht CPU-Z is telling me?
