Greetings.
I recently bought the XFX 780i mobo, thought i wanted to improve my computer abit Anyways, i slapped the mobo in and mounted my E8500 Wolfdale 3,16GHz and the rest of the stuff. Before doing anything els i flashed the newest bios version and everything worked perfectly weee I used the computer for about two weeks when in knowtist that it was actually abit slow, i ran CPU-Z and was kinda chocked, the CPU mulitiplier was set to 6... which means 333 x 6 = 2000~ so i was missing about 1166~ mhz I went to bios and correct, the multiplier was set to 6, so i changed the value to 9,5 which should give the correct mhz (333 x 9.5 3.16~). I restarted the computer and everything went smooth, the post, vista startup, everything... then i ran CPU-Z again and it tells me my multiplier is 6.0 > 2000MHz.. and then 5 secs after it switches to 9.5 > 3.166~... and it keeps swithing back and forward every few seconds... Time to worry or is it just CPU-Z doin funny stuff?
Thank you for your time
