    I just started too use thottlestop for the first time and have it setup and when i put load on the cpu which im using wprime i see a max speed of 2.338 x14 multiplier , But with no load i see 2.840x17.0.

    Is this normal I though throttlestop should make it run at max speed?

    It much faster than without throttlestop tho.

    I have my fsb in bios at 166.

    x17 happens when you utilize ONE core.
    x14 is 2 cores.
