I just finished building my new system(specs in sig)installed cpu z and core speed is 1632mhz!This isnt normal is it?Is there something I should change from bios?
 
I didnt find the speed stepping option :(.cpu z says that the multiplier is 6,I dont know anything about overclocking but shoudnt that be x9?Can anyone with a Abit IP 35 PRO tell me what to do?

I turned the feature off and it still shows the same speed.I loaded a game and then it went back to normal.So is this normal?Shouldnt it be at 2.4 the whole time?
 
Thanks for the replies guys.My overclocking marathon will begin tommorow(first time OCing!!)I am so excited :D.Off topic,in bios the CPU temp is 30C,is it ok?I am using the watercooling kit that came with my TT Armor.
