Task Manager CPU Speed

[AWS]

I am running Windows 8 Pro x64 with the latest updates. Recently I've noticed that in task manager under the performance tab, the CPU section reports my speed at 3.50 GHz all of the time. I know for a fact that my CPU downclocks when under

low load because my motherboard's software shows CPU frequencies and the temperatures of the components drop accordingly. Thus, I expected the speed in task manager to reflect this. However, my speed is at a constant 3.50 GHz even though downclocking

and turbo clocking are working fine. Are there any diagnostics I can do to investigate this issue or is there not an issue?
