i have an i7 940, which i have clocked at 3.66ghz, my RIVA Tuner Display on my keyboard advised me CPU0 is around that speed, moves around 3599.5 Mhz so ive never really been concerned.
But i recently started using Everest and it tells me most of the time my CPU clock is 1951.8 Mhz (original 2933 Mhz) then every so often for a split second it will jump to something like '3593.8 Mhz (22% Overclock)' but then instantly reverts to 1951 Mhz.
I also just installed some of the new crucial ballistix, 3x2GB @ 1600mhz, 8-8-8-24 timings.
But it advises my Memory timings are 6-6-6-18, i thought these should say 8-8-8-24?
and each stick of RAM has got 3 different timings, it advises: (9-9-9-24 @ 666Mhz) (8-8-8-24 @ 592 Mhz) (6-6-6-16 @ 444 Mhz).
maybe im just being a retard, i'm new to Overclocking and configuring my RAM timings so any advice is much appreciated.
I mean, all my GPU clocks are also lower than the original??!
heres a screenshot of what im looking at

And the GPU is similar to the CPU it will go back to the original clock when you enter an application that demands it.
