    Artic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 Rev 2 problem

    Alright so I just received my freezer pro 7 in the mail today and installed it, very easy install. I noticed though when I turn my computer on that the fan spins up for 2-3 seconds then stops.

    Ok so I noticed in my various monitoring utilities my processor speed is basically stationary at 2.93GHz (I have the i7 860, 2.8GHz). Now I am not complaining a whole lot but I thought turbo boost is supposed to "overclock" cores, the less cores being used the faster the frequency. Well, all 4...
