Gigabyte 8KNXP & Intel 3.4Ghz CPU

[jreiter]

I just installed an Intel 3.4Ghz CPU (478/Prescott) on a Gigabyte 8KNXP (V1) motherboard.

3DMark shows the internal clock speed as 2.9Ghz.

I suspect my next step is to go into the BIOS. I try to avoid this as this board does not have a CMOS reset jumper. You have to remove the battery.

Am I on the right track in regards to the BIOS? If so, can anyone post their experience with the BIOS that Gigabyte uses?

Thanks.

That doesn't sound right at all, the only reason I can think of that it would be running at 2.9GHz is clock throttling due to heat.
