Hello, just got brand new amd fx 8350 for Christmas and installed it with a cooler master hyper 212 evo.

When i go to system from control panel it says

Processor: AMD FX 8350 4.33Ghz.

Stock speed for a 8350 should be 4.0, why is it overclocked?
I never overclocked it. Personaly iv never overclocked a cpu before.?

I updated my bios to the current version with no errors before i installed the cpu and heat sink. just it says 4.33 instead of 4.0.

In Bios it says CPU current speed: 4374

any one know why? and how to get it to default 4.0?

Asus m5a99x evo

Modern CPUs don't just have one set clock frequency that they stay at all the time. They have a set of P states.

Each P state has a particular clock frequency and voltage, and the different P states are selected based on various conditions. If the CPU is idle it can drop into a power-saving P state with lower clock frequency and voltage. If it's running at full tilt with all its cores active, it'll go into its "normal" P state. If only some of its cores are active, it'll go into a faster P state, because less active cores means less power is being used and less heat generated; so there's some spare power and cooling available...

just relax..... your cpu is fine ^.^


Go in Bios ....

1-Press Del when computer start..

2-Once you are inside the Bios press F5

u will get a massage says you want to reset to defult .. choose yes..

Then hit exit ... and choose save and reset..


Now im sure your 8350 won't reach 4.2 Even .... i got one my self and the turbo thing only go like 4.15 or 4.17 .. it does not reach 4.2 exact..




do that and report

If only some of its cores are active, it'll go into a faster P state, because less active cores means less power is being used and less heat generated; so there's some spare power and cooling available for the CPU to safely run faster (and that's called turbo).

This is all considered stock performance.

I had exactly the same problem if u can call it that. I had just bought a new FX 8350 + ASUS M5A99X evo r2.0.

Basically the NB was at 216 instead of 200 and the voltage was slightly higher than stock. Hence it was over-clocked. I initially didn't notice but I ran prime 95 for about an hour just to see what temps I would get with my new kit as my previous phenom II + gigabyte board had crazy hot temps (it would always throttle) There were no errors and it only got up to 50C at 4.3.

The solution is just to F5 it in the bios
