Running an i5/3570. The grab shows a CPU clock at 1605, Original 3400, a GPU clock at 100, Original 800, and a Memory clock at 300, Original 667.

I'm a newb to all this, not even looking to overclock, but sometimes my box seems sluggish. Do you think I must have done something wrong? What can I do with this?
 
Solution
Low clocks are just while its idling. Clock speeds will get faster when gaming.

You can stress test the cpu or gpu to see what happens.

Try Intel Burn test for cpu. Try Afterburner's Kombustor for the GPU.

OK thanks, that makes a lot of sense.
