I have the asus m5a78l-mlx PLUS and the amd phenom II 965 x4 black edition 125w.

In the motherboard manual it says it supports up to 125w cpus..I noticed in cpu-z that my core speed is only 800mhz

Can I turn off powersaving mode? I'm running warframe(pc game) and a few other applications. It's still at 800mhz

How do i test it at idle? I have skype and google chrome open? Does that matter? I went into my amd catalyst control panel and under cpu power I found a slider. It was set to make the cpu run at 800mhz(said power saving mode) when I moved the slider to max(3400mhz) cpu-z said it was running at 3400 mhz and my temps got a max of 51c
