Bit of a noob question but hope someone can help,I have just built my first rig and havean E8500 in a Maximum Formual board. When I test the CPU using CPUZ it flucuttes between 3.26 and 2.2 and the multiplier changes in line from x9 to x6! Is this normal???:confused:
 
It's called Intel SpeedStep technology. It slows down the clock when idle for better cooling
