    New Motherboard + CPU

    I just purchase a new Mobo and CPU and I am new to the Fx series and I had a few questions. The CPU is continually fluctuating between 1.4, 3.5 (stock), 3.8 and 4.1 (turbo). I am not sure if this is normal for this CPU. The temps run between 22 to 28c and 52c stressed. I am running the stock cooler. Any suggestions?

    here are a few screen shots






    HERE is a stress test

    RAM: Ocz 4GB(2x2GB) DDR3
    GPU: Nvidia EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB
    PSU: Corsair RM1000
    CPU: Stock for now

    Thanks XRogerX
