1.4 ghz is what i see when my cnq is working. Just go to your power options in windows control panel and set mode to high performance or go manually set minimum cpu load to 100%
that should fix it.

Extreme 3 can not power a fx cpu properly. Thermal throttle quickly achieved. My fx8120 would not go over 3.8 on the extereme 3 without throttle. Same board goes to a max 4.6 with my other fx 4170 before throttle. 4+1 phase insufficient for fx cpu
