JaxMacFL Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Impressive bump up with HT enabled. CPU clock should read 3814MHz vise 3649MHz as stated in the 'Rankings' tab. http://www.pcpitstop.com/betapit/sec.asp?conid=22406209 Edited July 20, 2009 by JaxMacFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelGuy Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Did you overclock through the BIOS or by using software? OverDrive usually can't read an oveclock done through Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxMacFL Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Through the bios (23 x 166). No turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelGuy Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 If you right-click on Computer and select 'Properties", what is the overclocked CPU speed that is reported there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxMacFL Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) If you right-click on Computer and select 'Properties", what is the overclocked CPU speed that is reported there? 3.65 GHz is reported there. CoreTemp, CPU-Z and the first POST on boot up all report 3.81GHz, which is what it should be according to what I set in the BIOS. Looks like OverDrive is reading incorrect os (Windows Experience Index) maybe?. I have no idea where Vista gets that cpu reading.

IntelGuy Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 That is correct. OverDrive reads the CPU speed from what Windows is reporting. OverDrive does not access what is in the BIOS. I'm not sure why Windows would be reporting a different speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
