[SOLVED] CPU-Z Benchmark - Processor running extremely slow!

[Saintgherick]

My friend and I have identical setups (just built), buy when we both run the CPU-Z benchmark, my CPU single-thread processor is running at 563.1, while his is only at 62.2 Same with multi-thread. Mine is 5597.3, and his is at just 806.
What could be the reason for this discrepancy?
Sidebar: he did just swap out his motherboard to match my own, so he might have messed up and it may be installed wrong? Just don't know what about it that would be "wrong".
We are both available to upload any tests or diagnostics you all might need to work this out! Thanks!

Here's the report from userbenchmark.com:

With the motherboard swap, did you also reinstall a clean windows? Possibly having serious driver conflicts/ registry conflicts between the mobo's old and new.

Yes, new Windows key and everything. Fresh install.

First thing I would check is the CPU temperature under load.

Deal, will report back here as soon as I have it.

What coolers are you running? I would pull his and remount the cpu and cooler

Does that look low?

He went down and got some thermal paste. He then reseated it, but there's no change. Any other thoughts, friend?

 

[faalin]

are you sure those are the reading of his cpu while gaming?

It looks like his CPU has down clocked to 800Mhz which is why hes getting low 20's on the temp readings.
