It could be a normal cool & quiet speed, but normally it would be even lower than that so..

1) check to make sure you have the latest BIOS.

Do you notice that specific CPU isn't listed as being supported? This is kinda odd as every other similar CPU is listed. :/ It might be just a typo or error on their part.

2) what OS are you using?
