So, I have run into a bit of an issue. It seems no matter what settings I use in the Bios with my setup, my 2500K is now stuck at a sluggish 1.6 GHZ.
Earlier this week I got a new cooler (CNPS9900 MAX), and had overclocked to ~5GHZ. The overclock seemed pretty stable with no issues for the past 2-days.
Then, today, I noticed the computer was acting pretty sluggish. I rebooted and the problem persisted. At that point I pulled open Asus AI Suite 2, which shows the cpu is stuck at a constant x16 multiplier, usually only used for idle....
Anyone know what the hell is going on? I have tried everything I can imagine (including resetting the entire bios to default). I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point... It seems like it is either a) a hardware issue (which seems bizarre), or b) Some software in windows
