is it possible my CPU has underclocked its self?

Depending on the motherboard you can estimate the core temps using the socket temps. You have to first identify the sensor, then run prime with the cores in the stock configuration and mark how much the sensor goes up relative to the core temps.

It doesn't give me the individual core temps but it does give me the socket temps.

I will try putting it back stock at the weekend and seeing what the temps rise too running stock. At least it will give me an idea what it's increasing by.
 
The socket temperature is the important one on amd processors anyway, core temperatures are emulated as there is no physical individual core sensor.
 
just to give an update on the windows index. The processor and Ram have now changed. Original was 2.9 (processor) and Ram was 6.4. They have now increased to Processor: 7.4 and Ram: 7.6.

I can certainly see the improvement on the PC anyway but its nice to see that windows has recognized it.

New cooler to be fitted shortly to keep the temps below 60c
 
I've got a 550BE that's been unlocked and overclocked for a couple of years now.
Just keep an eye on that temp as, at 62c exactly, it will throttle back. Happens on mine when I forget (read: am too lazy) to clean my rad.
