Need help

[DanVonTrap]

Today for the first time i installed a processor - AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8350 Black Edition 4.00GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor.

And everything thus far has gone smoothly.

The only issue i am having is that my core speed is clocking at 2.81 GHz

How do i change this to what it should be which is 4.00 GHz

Not sure if this is of any use but this is my motherboard model GA-78LMT-S2P

Thankyou all for your feedback. The hole down clock thing is not the case. ( I did however change it to high performance.

Idle it sat at about 1570 MHZ and when running multiple programs including games it went to about 2940 MHZ. I got these figures from CPU-Z.

I then went into easytune 6 and proceeded to the tuner tab and upped the FSB but if i went past 210 MHZ it reset the pc.

I am in the process of purchasing a water cooling system for the cpu just to eliminate any issue with that, if it proceeds to not perform at what it should be i will then look into another motherboard.

Anymore feedback is welcome.
