well guys, i have gone over the thread and find no mention of this issue so it might be new but here goes.

brand new 790FX-M2R, shipped BIOS was the november one. i have tried every BIOS under the sun with the same results. basically, the system is locked at 133MHz HTT. the BIOS shows default of 200 (thats as low as you can go) but in Windows, everything reads 133MHz. i can adjust multi, memory timings, and NB frequency it seems, but HTT does nothing and is always 133MHz~135MHz with the memory on a 1:2 ratio.

once in a while after a BIOS reset, if i don't go into the BIOS and let the system go straight to windows i get a 200MHz, once i got 242MHz, but after a reboot, back to 133MHz. here is a shot of CPU-Z:

BTW, does the same thing with a Phenom processor as well. any ideas? anyone experienced this? TIA for any help.
