I am getting different readings on my CPU based on what I use to stress test. My RAM is sitting around 960, but my concern is when I go to stress test using prime 95, my cpu drops down to 4.2-3. When I run benchmarks for the RAM it jumps back up to ~4.4 where I expect it to be with the FSB increase. Is this a problem with Prime 95, or a bios issue? Some programs use the full speed I set, while others don't. Is there another program I can use to stress test that will jump up to whatever speed I set through the FSB? I am lost. Still liking this RAM, but my CPU has me stumped. Maybe that is just what happens when I go cheap and get a locked CPU. Anyways, thanks for reading.
