As you may or may not know im building a fridge cooled watercooling system and it was a total ***** to get on the first time. Well, i just got it to load the bios screen and it says i have a Athlon 1100 at 1.1ghz. Can i change this in the bios or is it reading it wrong or is there a BIOS update i can get to get it to read right? I want to know before i put the insulation back on, because its annoying as hell to take off.

Thanks.
 
Yeah, I think most motherboards do that with the first boot as a way to just make sure everything is safe...it can be corrected in the bios.

Like petery83 said, its at 100fsb just to be safe (11*100=1100).
