hi there

i just did oc to 3.6 for my bro in his E8400
i made stable 3.6 GHZ oc and when i went for 4 GHZ it was stable and it detected 4GHZ in cpuz but on System properties it shows only 3.6.

edit: system properties is here:
http://www.home-network-help.com/ima...properties.jpg

how to change it ?

or should i leave it like this because it stable?
THANKS

Disable C1E, Execute Disable Bit, TM2 and EIST in Bios. If that doesn't work, search the forums for a basic guide for overclocking

already disable them...
i know how to overclock :/
i made for my self in Q6600 to 3.2 stable and everything fine here.
but on my brothers pc it not changing in the system properties... only in cpuz

When you re-overlocked did you reset the bios first? this is always a good idea.

Did you set the ram timings and such? Also, check to make sure the PSU is powerful enough. If it's not, it can cause strange issues like you're describing. Also, you might want to give us some specs. Some boards have some funny characteristics, and it's nice to know the brand to give you some help

the psu is good enough 650w
and the picture was an example of the place that its not correct.

maybe this is just a fluke? if cpuz says its 4Ghz, but msoft says otherwise, and you know how to overclock, then don't worry about it.

i guess
