Weird Vista bug maybe 3.83Ghz???

Quote:
Multiplier is at 425 8x = 3.4Ghz. Never mind about the ram.

Cool not a Vista issue.

Why is Core Temp saying 8x as I said.

Can we agree the Q6600 uses a 9x multiplier? 266x4=1066? 266x9=2.4. 266x8=2.1.

Why not post what CPU-Z says about CPU? Is it just Core temp being incorrect?

I need to see CPU-Z before I can tell or say you have a bad OC that is likely for thermal reasons downclocking.

At this point I can't say much but Vista is correct.

I think the problem is solved?

He said his overclock was with an 8 times multiplier, so vista is the problem. Vista is detecting the default, 9x multiplier.

Well since I only have notebooks I do know less about this kind of thing. You know I don't change my known multiplier and scratch my head when when it turns out this way. I mean common sense would lead a mouse to the food. But well I guess not.

Back to common sense. If it as appears you are correct rule number one for OP is always what does your BIOS say? That is number 1.

If this was in the "I hate Vista section" and think I found a bug section of OCN I am certain I would of caught on much faster. You know coming to the party with the prerequisite salt on hand does make the whole process faster.

Telling me to "read" was rude! Why? Because I was trying to help and OP was at the least ambiguous. Watch it.

And your great comprehension speaks of you my friend. You know the entire great minds think alike.

Hey I did miss it. But I did say from the beginning not clear on the issue. I hope those other fellows answered your question as to why.

I mean very clear sometimes apps report what is written and do not test.

You did sorta of find a bug in vista but also did not.

Here is why, because of the entire dynamic switching/speed step Vista is not going to test your multiplier as it changes. But well FSB does not change. And remember how Vista SP1 changed the recognized memory? God forbid some gets less than their maximum?

I thought you had serious concerns. I guess I was the fool. You did know what was really up.

So have good laugh fellows.

But its actually not, its using the correct 9.5 and others are not.
If I wasn't about to finish up a few folds, I would reboot now to see if I could get the readings I had yesterday, as yesterday, they were all reversed.
