Hello,
hi i have recently installed a phenom x4 955 be in a asus m2n-sli deluxe board i have the latest bios and the cpu is detected correctly but is only running at 800hz any help?

Most boards use amd's cool and quiet software, which lowers the cpu speed at idle. Check the board bios for this setting and disable it. I use it and it automatically increases the cpu speed when needed under load, such as gaming. But this may not show up in the windows specs. Some versions of Cpu-z have real time readings and will show the cpu fsb changing as your load changes.

^+1 Cool n Quiet.

Open up CPU-Z or CPUID and run something while watching the clock speed.

If it speeds up then you know cool n quiet is working properly.
