STOP IT! That CPU is only supposed to run at 2 GHz (2000 MHz). You want to
burn it up or something?

ok so when i run benchmarks on it it says it is only running at 2200 mhz,
and in the bios it has a cpu frequency setting from 200 to 400 and a clock
modifyer of 10x so is a nut shell 220 freq and a clock modifyer of 10 = 2200
mhz not core frequency.

Do some reaearch on that CPU and see what speed it's rated. Hint:
the answer is not 3400MHz.

It's an AMD, not an Intel processor. AMD processors do *NOT* run at the
processor speed.
AMD has decided that their processor numbers (3400+) are the "equivalent" of
an Intel processor running at that speed (3400), but they run at much lower
frequencies. Your clock is supposed to be 2000. Running at 2200 is going to
make it run hot, and not really provide any significant increase in
processor power. In fact, if it gets hot, I believe it throttles back
automatically, slowing it down. Unless of course you've provided extra
cooling to the system to keep the CPU temp down.

Try Googling "overclocking". You'll get a lot of hits. You probably need
to raise the voltage for both the memory and the processor.
