Just built my first computer. Everything read fine in bios, but when I switched the RAM settings from stock to the 433mhz its rated at, my CPU started showing as 1.9ghz frequency. What happened?
Ram is advertised as pc3500, the auto setting was showing as 333mhz so I just bumped it up to what it's supposed to be, i thought.

yeah i think i actually did enable that. I thought it was just a window that shows the speed and fan rotation.

The speed should be going up and down depending on load.
