Double Thread please "Delete" this one

Hello,

I have just updated my Bios on my Striker II Formula to 1401 (from 1101) My CPU is a quad 9650 (3GHz)

Well, I rebooted, all seemed ok, but when I loaded up CPU Z (V 1.46) it told me (as it is doing now), that my processor is running at 2Ghz (Multiplier: x6, Bus speed:333, FSB 1333. Also when I start up “Asus AI Suite”, it gives me the same readings (volts are 1.072 on cpu z – so they are low I guess)

However when I rebooted, I saw in the bios, that my CPU was Running at 3Ghz, and the multiplier at x9 (what it should be), and other settings as they were before update, so all seems to suggest in the bios that my cpu is running normally at 3Ghz. I did a F5 on the bios also (reset), and CPU was 3Ghz, but once again, only 2Ghz in CPU Z, and AI suite etc.
Well, I did a Crysis test, and got my usual score of 59-60 FPS, so just wondering which reading is correct:confused:

BTW, i sometimes see "x9" multiplier, and "3Ghz" in both Cpu z and ai suite, but then goes back.

Cheers
