Hello to everyone.

I've just noticed that CPU-Z shows really low CPU clock speed for my new i5. Is this supposed to be like that or is something very wrong?

I haven't touched anything yet, this rig is brand new... Do I have to make special modifications in the BIOS or something?

This CPU is installed on MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Motherboard.

Here is the picture showing CPU-Z stats:

It's perfectly normal. Your cpu "underclocks" itself when not in use.

Leave cpu-z open, then run a cpu intensive program, or a game and you'll see it ramp up the multiplier to full.

Well that's a nice thing to hear. I guess it saves power that way... What a convenient feature.

What happens when I want to overclock? Do I need to turn that feature off then?
