Hi All,
I've heard of speedstep and as fas as I know, I've never activated it. But if I leave my PC on idle for a while with no activity the processor speed drops to the default speed versus my OC speed. In the Power Settings I have my monitor to turn of after 5 minutes with my HDD never turning off.

Any idea what might be happening here? I really appreciate the help.
