    its one of the options you can choose insted of manual
    might not be exactly 1917 but its around that i think my problem has something to do with a jumper setting on the board and my multiplyers but this is what i was told by a friend any ideas which multiplyers and which jumper on the board
    Thanks for your help

    yes so if it shows 2600 on the post screen than leave it alone because changing to the other reading is overclocking the cpu & you can fry the chip, motherboard & maybe the system.

    there might be various versions of that chip that has different settings for each version. so if posting on post screen as 2600 than might be right. check amd site for their faq to make certain & also motherboard site faq
