most likely this is enhanced speedstep technology. You should look for it in the bios and disable it. It just allows the CPU to operate at lower clock speed when it's not required to run at full speed. It's a power saving feature.

You don't need to change the multiplier to fix it.

It most likely is IEST (Intel Enhanced SpeedStep Technology) in effect. It reduces CPU frequency to save power, when power is not required.
Launch some cpu intensive application and monitor CPU frequency with CPU-Z.

And do not update BIOS, if you don't know exact model name of the motherboard. You'll brick it.
