Hi, I have an intel dx58so with an i7 930, the cpu settings are left as default in bios, but when I open the desktop controller instead of giving me the proper reading of 2.8ghz, instead the reading is 3.07ghz. Is this the result of Intel turbo boost?

If the value goes back to 2.8 ghz at idle after waiting a while that could be the turbo boost technology feature at work. You can check this by using the softtware Intel Turbo-Boost Technology monitor.
