It's a "feature" of the chip called APM. (Advanced power managment or something like that.)

It can be disabled with some motherboards/BIOS versions. My Gigabyte 990fx UD3 board didn't even show the feature in BIOS version F5, but updating to F8 BIOS version showed it in the BIOS and allowed me to disable it.

Check for a BIOS update to your board.

no i did not it was not an option in my motherboard bios even after i uptated it I got it to work by doing this step fom the website that i listed in my previous reply.

"Get AMD Overdrive and Open and Enable Turbo Core Control then Push OK then Open and Disable Turbo Core Control then push OK then exit AMD Overdrive."

The the bad thing about this is that I need to do it every time i restart my computer. I will contact gigabyte about the problem and hope fully they will fix it in the next bios update or at least make it so I can disable APM.
But for now i am running at a steady 4.5MHz
Thanks for the help
