Hi. I'm currently using an AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE that has a stock clock speed of 3.4ghz, but only runs at 800mhz. I've seen forums suggesting its AMD's Cool 'n' Quiet function, although I'm certain it's not. After disabling it, there is no difference. My motherboard is a FOXCONN A74ML-K, and on its site, it clearly states it supports Phenom II processors. You can get your info here:

I've read an article on this site which states that if I use Overdrive to set it to its default clock speed, it will be sorted. I'm sceptical about this, since I'd be making my motherboard do something it isn't meant to do. Would it be safe to do so? And would I need to disable Cool 'n' Quiet before I did it?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Reburon
