I have a GA-965P-DS3 with a Q6600 running at 3GHz 333x9 and the Intel Thermal Analysis Tool shows it at 3000MHz but when I open CPU-Z or Gigabyte Easy Tune it will say 1998MHz with a X6 multiplier, then after a couple seconds it will say x9 and 2997MHz like it should and then go back to 1998MHz. I know its not the CPU because this happend on the same board with a E4300.

This is simply Intel's speed step working to keep your processor cool and reduce power draw.
You can turn this feature off in the bios if you'd like.
