your processor should be changing speed all the time . Dropping in to a low power state and running at full speed only when it needs to .There is no mb an FX processor will run in that will cap the speed lower UNLESS you have told it to
I was under the impression that my 78LMT-S2P was the factor and at the moment I am unaware of my speed having ever changed while gaming/rendering (I've monitored it) to check if it increases :S
Do you have any idea how I'd change the settings to 'unlock' it, so to speak?

In BIOS there will be settings to enable power saving . Some people turn this off because they mistakenly think their PC will be more powerful . It will just use more power .
In software you can open the AMD unified driver or feature manager , and see the speed range your processor is set to operate in .
In Task Manager you can see the speed your cpu operates at moment by moment

It says my CPU power is @ 100% in AMD catalyst :S
So enabling stuff in the BIOS is unlikely to work then?

Enable cool'n'quiet in BIOS , and any other power saving options it may have Then head back to catalyst . In the cpu power section is it limited to a maximum of 2.9 Ghz?
Okay thanks for your help
It seems the CPU is set to run @ full power in catalyst.
I will try changing the settings in the bios when I get home.
Thankyou
