Nope its you CPU. AMD has a feature callen CnQ Cool n Quiet. It lowers the
voltage and the speed of your CPU, cooling it, lowering the voltage
consuption and longething the life. The milisecond you need more power it
will speed up again.

You can get a dashboard at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.amd.com" target="_blank">www.amd.com</a> dl it instal it an run it. You can
see the switching pretty good.

That'll be why then! I used the cool & quiet util, and it clearly shows what
it does.

I've overclocked an AMD 3500+ from 2.2GHz (default) to 2.53GHz.
(11x225) It's currently 39c, and rarely goes above 47. I used the
arctic silver ceramic thermal compound.
