My 920 i7 keeps reverting to 142 clock speed.

I have my 920 set to 150x20, but after a shut down it seems to always revert to 142x20. It still says 150x20 in BIOS though. Another interesting thing I noticed is that Computer Information and dxdiag always seem to say that my CPU runs at ~2.80GHz, no matter what speeds I set.

My Mobo is EX58-UD3R.

EDIT: I use the latest CPU-Z and/or CoreTemp to monitor my CPU speeds.
 
I have the same board. I almost dont know if youre being sarcastic or not :p, but anywhoo.....

Mine shipped with F1 and I updated to F4. There are many ways to accomplish the update (Qflash USB, hard drive, boot disk, @BIOS). You should be able to find instructions there or via google.

Are you sure your are not being fooled by Intel SpeedStep? I was fooled at first when I looked at CPUz. It was reporting 1.5GHz. I did not know that the processor lowered its multiplier when at idle. When under load, it steps back up to full speed.

No, I wasn't being sarcastic :p. Thanks for the link. I've downloaded the F4 file and I'm going to try it after I'm finished writing this post.

About the SpeedStep thing. For me, it reduces the multiplier, not the clock speed, and clock speed is always visible as is the multiplier. Would be pretty hard to get fooled :p
 
Well, the file isn't working apparently. I extracted the files(there are three), but when I try to open any of them, it says "Blabla has stopped working, Windows will close the program blabla". :(

EDIT: It's a self-extracting archive.
 
i would not reccomend doing it in windwos, is there a way to do it from a cd or disk?
 
And so the plot thickens. Can someone explain this to me?

I have a UD5 Board, the board reverts automatically when something is wrong, may be your vcore or vram either is too low. Another thing can be the turbo boost or the type of performance profile. Be familiar with the bios, i disable turbo boost, and performance profile at "standard"
