Need more information. OC'ing in BIOS or with software? How high did you get the OC on the multiplier alone?

If you have OC'd using the mobo Bios, when you press exit bios there is a button below it saying reset to default.

Then you must have the software OC utility set to save/change the values upon boot. Go back into that pgm and reset to the stock values. Better yet, uninstall the pgm.

Check if the program's folder still exists. Try to boot up in safe mode and see if the CPU is still overclocked.

Are you sure you are not just seeing it when it is in turbo mode? Turbo mode can take it from 3.5 GHz up to 3.9 GHz in steps.

xD.... Brosefph, the stock of that Devil Canyon is 3.5 GHz, the 3.9 GHz is the turbo boost. It automatically jumps to 3.9 GHz when your say playing a game that needs CPU performance... And you don't need to set voltage either, it automatically goes to 3.9 GHz its Inte's Turbo boost technology.
