There could be a few reasons why its dropping like that but first what motherboard did you install it on?

6000+ Brisbane (must be Brisbane as the superior Windsor is stock clocked at 3.0ghz), but it sounds to me like your motherboard doesn't support it or needs a BIOS update as Slayerx implied, or you have Cool N Quiet enabled and it is downclocking when not under load.

Msi site says my board takes it, the board is msi k9n neo v2. Cool and quiet is turned off, my AMD athlon 64 x 2 4000+ 2.2GHz seems to work alot faster but i wanted to upgrade from that and Msi site says AMD athlon 64 x2 6000+ 3.1GHZ is the highest my board can go so i got That, could it be that my fan isn't great and its over heating?

Could it be you need a BIOS update?

I thought that my self and iv been checking how to do it but it seems rather complicated, do i just put the bios update on a usb stick and boot from that are do i need to put windows on the stick aswell as the bios update?

These are the instructions from MSI.

Just read everything carefully. Its not a big deal to flash bios.
