Why is my processor running at this when it is capable of going to 3.8ghz?

I'm new at this so sorry.

Check your bios settings, make sure the CPU base clock and multiplier is set to auto.
If you still can't figure it out, try resetting the bios settings to their defaults.

And BTW, what motherboard are you using?

ASRock n68-vs3

So did you try resetting the bios?

 

[francis_16]

I'm just about to do that, I need to finish installing some software first. Will get back to you with the results.

Ok so I looked at the bios and it was on auto.
How and should I reset my bios?

Read in Optimized defaults in BIOS or reset it by using CLR_Cmos connectors or take battery out for few minutes. Last 2 options with power removed and Start button pressed for few seconds.

Navigate to the "Exit" tab via arrow keys, then go to "Load Bios Defaults", and press enter.

I've done this and I still have the same problem.
This is what CPU-Z is saying now http://prntscr.com/dpb93z before it didn't display the picture and name accurately.

Multiplier is set wrong. For standard 3.2GHz for that CPU, it should be 16.
Multiplier x16 * FSB 200 = 3200MHz 3.2GHz.

 

[francis_16]

So should I set this in the bios?

 

[CountMike]

Yes. only place you can do that.

 

[francis_16]

Every time I set it I have to reset my cmos because there is no display. I'm stuck.

No diaplay after saving the settings and restarting?

 

[francis_16]

Yes. Im not sure what I'm doing wrong.

 

[CountMike]

Check Vid processor voltage too. Should be about 1.3v or bit more.

 

[francis_16]

I'm not sure which option that is. Before I do anything, do these settings look ok so far? Before it was set at 1.35v iirc and it didn't display anything.

First picture, seems that it's set right. If it still won't go raise a bit, 1.35v where 1.3 is now.

When I set those settings nothing displays. have to reset cmos again.
