Make sure the bios is set to defaults, it could have some type of auto OC enabled.

Turn core performance boost off in bios and it will stop its not an issue tho unless your overheating.
Its a feature of the FX series.

[StanMen]

so this is what is show on CPU-Z :/ way ??

[erocker]

Use a newer version of CPU-Z. Make sure your bios supports your CPU.

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Yeah get the newest version of cpu-z as it supports piledriver and that should clear up the naming. Also you should always clear your bios after an update. Did you clear it when you went from the x4 to the FX? If not that is you oc problem as it is using the peramiters you set for the x4 chip.

if its stable then its fine else set the core multiplier to 17.5 and that should put it back at 3.5

What most likely happened is that you have not updated your bios before you install the CPU and the bios mistaken the chip as an FX-6200 which is clocked at 3.8Ghz.
Yes you should also install the Windows 7 patch for bulldozer as well. The Piledriver is just an enhanced Bulldozer.
Also just update that CPU-Z.

The unlock core function is for tricore Athlon II and Phenom II.

But wen i got my Phenom II x4 960t its not an tricore cpu but yes quad core cpu or even beter is an six core cpu but locked to 4 cores, i'm right ?

thanks bud for your replay

The unlock feature is for various x2, x3, and the 960t.

Yes same idea.
It does absolutely nothing for the FX line just leave it off.
