What CPU do you have? Overclocked? Underclocked? CPU-Z will tell you all this.

What did it use to be at?

i have core i5 i OC'd it to 4.013Ghz then put it back to default then all the bios setup are all in auto. ive been wondering what just happened to this core everytime i checked the speed using cpu-z.

edit: as well as my dram frequency it has gone to 668mhz instead of 1600mhz am so confused please people help out..

I guess you didn't bother to read:
B: what is speedstep in the post above.

you put everything at default, your computer will try to save energy for your when the power is not needed. It downclocks itself to run stable at a lower voltage.

dram frequency. because you set everything at auto, your RAM defaults to 1333 Mhz to ensure compatibility with more motherboards.

I bet you are going to ask me then why it isn't showing 1333???? 668*2=1333
please read: what is DDR

last but not least, stop PMing me!
I don't want to cyber

it will automatically turn back to 2.66ghz whenever you use any CPU intensive programs.

but if you absolutely want it to stay at 2.66ghz constantly; just go into BIOS, and turn off speedstep.

while you are in BIOS, manually set your RAM at 1600

I don't have the same motherboard as you, so I can't give you exact directions.
gonna have to poke around yourself.

change the mem multi to x12 with the stock bclk of 133 will give your 1596.
