i7 2600k on an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO.
In every program I have tried (CPU-Z, E-LEET, HWMonitor, HWiNFO32) the CPU multiplier stays at 16x (1.6 ghz) even when under load. It has not always been like this, I remember it acting normally before I tried changing any BIOS options. However, re-setting the BIOS does not fix the problem.
I was getting very high temperatures (98c) when using the stock heatsink, even after re-seating it multiple times. When I replaced it with a hyper 212+ I noticed the stock TIM had not melted and spread around at all. It was after this change that I first started noticing these issues. CPU temp stays very low (room-temp at stock multi idle and 7 degrees higher when under load) which at first lead me to believe that the CPU was stuck at 1.6 ghz, but after OCing to 4.8 GHZ (1.415v) I have noticed an increase in CPU temp. The cores are currently sitting around 50c while running IntelBurnTest and Prime95. I do have a second fan on the heat sink, but those temps seem pretty low and I am worried that my CPU is not performing correctly. What do you think?
