Hi guys, I just finished building my new rig, and everything is running great except for the fact that I am getting really weird readings regardless of what monitoring software I try to use.
I downloaded CPU-Z and HWMonitor to start, and both are reporting crazy values that I know are incorrect. It doesn't matter if I have all default or overclock settings in the BIOS, CPU-Z shows nothing but 1.6GHz for the CPU, and HWMonitor is all screwed up. Here's a screen shot of what I'm talking about. I have confirmed that all voltages are in normal operating ranges direct from within the BIOS, but here in Windows, it's all jacked up. Any ideas why??
The core frequency in CPU-Z stays at 1600 regardless of whether the system is at idle or full load. I watched it while I ran wPrime, and it just sat at 1600. Again, all default settings in the BIOS are being used, and when I bumped the multiplier up to 42, CPU-Z still showed 1600.
Other programs that show clock speed show the same thing too, like OCCT for example.
