Help with flashed BIOS? CPU running at 3.66?

Hi

What Motherboard model do you have? but its possible that in the Bios menu their is an overclocking option, check to see if thats enabled or set to an advanced overclock option (I just know that the mobo I have ASUS can automatically overclock my CPU to various levels)

What are your temps at with it running at that level.

 

Hi

Those temps are ok with stock cooler, if hitting 60c+ then your a little too high, but most CPUs will hit 70+ before causing issues.

Just read your mobos manual and no options like mine to change overclocking, so I would be tempted to reset CMOS (your BIOS) to default settings then re-enter any custom settings you have, to reset the BIOS just with PC off and carefully, pop the BIOS battery out for 10mins then pop it back in. Or on section 2-29 of the manual it shows you how to reset the bios with the jumpers. *but only do this if you really need to as it may not change anything, all I was thinking is when flashing the bios the settinsg maybe a little screwed up*



So I would monitor temps for a while when using your PC normally to see what max you get, http://majorgeeks.com/Core_Temp_d5665.html

 

Hi

If you gained a max of 55c when running a benchmark then if the benchmark (dont know that one) stressed the CPU then 55c is ok with stock fan, just monitor it for a while.

I would also drop MSI support an email and ask them about this BIOS update and tell them what it caused.
