MoBo: Crosshair V Formula Z
CPU: Vishera fx 8320 Black Edition
I updated the CPU from 3.5 to 4, memory to 2400, and NB as well.
I followed the provided guides for pointers:

My problem started when I save settings in my MoBo. After logging in, both HWMonitor and Cpu-Z display CPU speeds at 1400, not reflecting the OC results.
Am I misinterpreting the settings or are the software tools incorrect?
I completed an Intel Burn Test (IBT) and observed slow speeds and G-flops, similar to before OC.
The error codes in the logs were normal.
Please assist!
***UPDATE***
I discovered a 'slow mode' toggle on my MOBO near the power button. Changing it resolved the issue and I’m now running smoothly.
I can't see the cpuz clearly, but I can identify 40xx in hwmonitor. It seems everything is okay.
The 1.4 setting while idle helps conserve energy and lower heat. Running the CPU at full speed constantly isn't necessary. During demanding tasks like gaming or stress tests, the system adjusts to its maximum clock rate of 4.0GHz.
Does cpu-z indicate your CPU is operating at 1.4GHz during an Intel burn test or when the PC is idle? Review the Task Manager to observe the current GHz values during stress testing.
CPU-z and HWMonitor display my CPU as running 1.4GHz while idle:

The only variation occurs in CPU utilization.
