Does it just slowly increase in speed after start up? If it just occasionally increases in speed and then drops back down it is fine, that is just the Turbo Core or Speed Stepping kicking in. As long as your computer is running fine, nothing to worry. What CPU is it?
havent overclocked and its 1155, i7 3770... i recently changed motherboards from a b75 chipset to a z68 but did a clean install and what not.
Has it always done this? Just download CPU Z, and see what the multiplier is doing. Off the top of my head, that processor has a top clock speed of 3.9Ghz and is not unlocked so overclocking is not possible.
