Are you using the latet version ? It's 1.49.

Have you disabled intel speedstep & C1E monitor in bios.

its not cpu-z's fault...its intel EIST...disable it in your bios...Its a power saving feature which reduces your cpu multiplier when there is no stress on the cpu...when you play games or do something to stress your cpu...leave it on just to save energy but if your OCing then disable it.
