Hi all,
Just finished putting together my new system yesterday comprising of the following parts:
CPU: i5 2500K
MOBO: MSI P67A-GD53 (B3)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB
SSD: OCZ 60GB Agility 3 SSD
HDD: Seagate 1TB 3.5" Barracuda SATA-III
GFX: Gainward GTX 570 Phantom
PSU: Antec TruePower New 750W Modular
COOLER: Be Quiet! Dark Rock Advanced
CASE: Fractal Design Arc
SOUND: X-Fi XtremeAudio
Very happy with it so far! However, one thing I've already noticed is that the clock speeds on the CPU aren't always 3.3ghz? Does the 2500K have a 'eco' setting whilst the system is idle? Reason for the question is I've just installed Crysis 2 at the clock speeds were 1.596 (first link). However after it finished installing, it shot back to 3.3 (second link), but at the time of writing this, it's back down to 1.584?

Any ideas or am I just being paranoid?
Cheers!
