CPU speed not changing.

So I cheaped out a bit. I decided why not get a triple core 710 p2 and a foxconn a79a-s for a 220 dollar combo. Well I now know why not. This motherboard bios is right next to crap on how crappy something can get. Anyways, I finally figure out how to overclock on this board I think, but the bios and windows show it running at stock speeds. Only in windows overclocking programs is the "over clock" recognized. Anyone know what might be going on.

Sounds like you have Speedstep enabled.

The AMD equivalent is called Cool 'n' Quiet.
If your overclocking it needs to be off as it can cause problems, and its hard to see whats going on.
