This is driving me nuts. lol

No I don't think it's speedstep, because speedstep reduces your clock speed, not increase it?

I've checked under Device manager, and it reads all 4 cores as 3.30 GHz. Did that under bios too. Multiplier is 33. Nothing overclocked.

Right now, it's in Computer>Properties that show 2 different speeds.

I know I'm not the only one with this "problem", but I haven't been able to find an answer as to why it's showing that.

Any help would be great.

edit:

Forgot to mention, i5-2500K is 3.30 GHz stock.
