AirbrushkidWhy is cpuz showing 3002.2 mhz?
I think it displays the multiplayer wrong...I already hate cpuz for that reason, it shows my E6300 working at 6x multi for some reason. Last 3 new versions of cpuz didn't help fix the issue.

Thats probably because you have speedstep, c1E, and/or thermal management on. It lowers the multiplier when not in use to consume less power.

At 3.2GHz do you think I have the thermal managment on? ;) I'm aware of all the options you mention, but that's not the problem here. Lots of users have this issue with cpuz.

Oh no, it is a Clockgen overclock, so it isn't valid. Everyone start flaming him.......

Hmm, thats odd, your board might have something of it's own. I had all of those turned off and then found a reduced power option on my board that was doing it.

I just disable C1E Support, have you tryed that ? I even have speedstep enabled I find it only works at default settings so try the dis. C1E it should work ;)

Just like I said...yeah I am aware of all the options and I've tried them all, no change. Anyways, my CPU works at 3.2GHz 24/7 I don't care what cpuz says.
To be honest, my wrong cpuz freqs started from version 1.39, before this version everything worked right for me, with 1.38 I had no problems.

P.S. btw this is Shamino's 6GHz thread, not my cpuz bug, stick to the topic. :)

I have got my highest clock using Easytune 5... I don't care how you get the OC all that i care about is what you are running at. You can get the clock anyway you want.

he only had 1.59 on the core... Surely a watercooled setup could handle that???

Then again I know how hot the friggin quads get, even at 1.4v.....

Superpi would be pretty quick on that thing... :)

I doubt it was only 1.59. CPU-z tends to misread vcore when you pass a certain point.

I just want to see these kids play a game or use a 3d intensive application for two hours, then come back and tell us it's 'stable.'

liquid nitrogen, 2.5v probably, and most likely stable
liquid nitrogen can do anything :D
