CPU core Speed?

So i run CPU-Z and im looking at my core speed, its at like 1400,00HZ and then it jumps to like 1800,50mhz why does it jump so much? and how do i know what my GHZ is? i have a AMD FX 6100 i thought it was 3.5 GHZ bit going from 1400,30 to like 1800,50 to something like 20,000 is odd imo! am i looking at this right? lol help

1400 is 1.4 ghz on idle
1800 shoild be 5% load 1.8ghz
20,000 is weird u sure its not 2000mhz if it is it means its running at 2ghz

wow that seems pretty low tbh

2ghz's on a FX 6100, core unlocked as well. shouldn't i be getting like 3.5ghz or more? ill run CPU-Z and start p bf3 and ply alittle and see what it jump's to, i just thought it was odd that it was jumping around like that for no reason.

run prime 95

run prime Prime95 (64bit) - 25.11 Download - EXTREME Overclocking

Playing Dead island i get around 3600 and 3800, im guessing thats 3.6Ghz and 3.8Ghz?

The jumping is called throttling and your cpu does that to prevent from overheating or whatever, as long as you have a decent cooler you can turn it off in your BIOS.

Ahh neat, good fact i know man! umm i just have stock heat sink so might be a good idea to keep it on lol

MAX=4.0
