Something is interfering with my overclock.

I just recently finished putting a new system together (pre-overclocked) and something seems to be dropping the CPU multiplier.

Could anyone help me out here? I can see the overlock in the BIOS and when I run CPUZ at startup it shows the correct values, but then it drops down like crazy.

I'm on Windows 7 btw.

Ahh I see. So, does the multiplier speed scale back up as you run demanding software?

I did a quick google search and I think I found a way to disable it through the power settings. However, if I can still get 4ghz when I need it, I might just leave it on.
 
Ahh ok, thanks for the advice. I had just turned off C1E and EIST in the BIOS, but I got a Black Screen of Death while installing WoW. Dunno what caused the black screen though...
 
I managed to install it by enabling them again, but I think I should probably do some testing to see how well the OC will hold up. Obviously I know next to nothing about it, but the settings look fine from what I can gather. Except for the DRAM voltage, which is at 1.660. Not sure if I should be worried about it being that high.
 
Ahh, that's reassuring. Could you show me where to find the best version for Windows 7 please? google searches for these programs tends to yield a load of different results.

I was planning it running some tests in Prime95 tonight to see what happens.
 
Cool. I'll give it a shot later. Thanks for the advice.

I'm hoping the Black screen was just a freak, but windows crashed while booting once as well, so I'm a little worried. Anyway, I'll do a bit of testing and see how things turn out.
