When watching a video in VLC media player I notice that CPU-Z reports the clock speed alternating between 1.2Ghz to 2.6ghz every 5 seconds, I've got CPU stepping enabled in the BIOS of my Asus P7P55DD mobo but surly this should only kick in when playing games and doing intensive things, not for a video right? (it is 720p though).
Why is it constantly flipping between 1.2 and 2.6ghz though? Surly this isnt healthy for the CPU, is there a way I can make it so the stepping only works for when Im playing games?
