Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
A few of us are discussing same experience with win7 at http://i4memory.com/f80/windows-7-df...8-t3eh8-17336/, some findings are VID Special Add set to AUTO fixes it (although i didn't have problems with it set to disabled) and also that cpuz is incorrectly reporting lower multipliers when turbo 21x multi is enabled - as my benchmarks are all showing results reflective of 21x being in place even if cpuz fluctuates for me between 5x, 8x, 12x, 15x, 17x, 18x, 20x and 21x in windows 7

Proof that cpuz reported cpu multiplier fluctuations in Windows 7 is cpuz related as both realtemp 3.20RC4 and coretemp 0.99.5 reported right 21x multi all the time
