If this is what you have. It should be operating at 2.4Ghz out of the box.

Have you done, any OC'ing or playing around with the BIOS.? What numbers does the BIOS show for:

1. FSB.
2. Multiplier.
3. vCore.

Please just do not go and set it to 2.4Ghz straight away. Be careful.

Check your motherboard's bios settings. Look out for EIST and C1E options. It seems like CPU multiplier is reducing to 6 automatically when processor is ~ identical. Try switching off those options, i mentioned. Then check again.

@XFX:
Update your signature with the system specification.

Also is your motherboards BIOS updated to latest.
