woahh.. so about a month ago, i had a failed flash on my ds3r *my cpu was a lapped e6400 @3.6ghz*.. so i hit the forums up and bought a dfi blood iron as replacement, which i also failed a flash and thats out for rma, well i decided to rma my ds3r as well.. During that time, on the forums i saw a e6700 for $80 that could do 3.6 and bench at 3.75.. potentially a golden chip. well i bought it... its already been lapped.

Im watercooled.. well i got the ds3r back today.. slapped it in.. got it booted. Took me a while to get the setup to boot.. i guess it ignores my multiplier settings and sticks it at 10x no matter what. Tried 400fsb x6 in the bios and upon windows system info it says 4ghz!..

I load up cpu-z and it says 2.66ghz.. but everything else says 4ghz.. so i load up orthos and run it for a while and it says 4ghz.. Ok i figure cpu-z is inaccurate.

I got it to boot once at 450fsb and windows said 4.5ghz.. i figured that cant be right and upon shut down i got the bsod...

I shut the system down, set fsb to 420 and got it booted at 4.2ghz with cpu vcore at 1.41... othos stable for 15 minutes now.. so far so good.. *cpu-z says otherwise as far as the speed*

does cpuz sometimes give out false info? any other programs i can use to confirm my cpu speed? this is too good to be true..
 
heres what cpuz and coretemp tell me

CPUZ is accurate. All the the other programs assume you are using the e6700's default multi. Its reading at 420x10 which is 4.2ghz but you even said your multiplier is at 6.

i mean you could figure this out yourself with some simple math man.

TBH you sound terrible in dealing with computers. You killed TWO boards trying to flash the bios :eek: and now you cant even figure out what your cpu frequency is.

You don't sound like you know to much yourself - nor do you sound like anyone respectable enough to listen to. Move on and troll elsewhere.

To the original poster, have you checked to see that your motherboard is not setting the clock speeds lower when the processor is not in use? My e8400 is set at 450x9 = 4.05GHz (and reads that way under the windows screen) but when I'm idling CPUz, coretemp, or any other program will read @ 450x6 = 2.7GHz. This is a power saving feature some newer motherboards have. Either way, whenever the processor becomes under use it'll automatically step up to your set clock speed - so if it's prime stable @ 4.2, that's what you're running at. Congrats.

*edit*
Leave CPUz open, run prime to test the CPU and see if the speed listed under CPUz raises to 4.2. Let us know what happens.

LOL

did you even read his post? he said he set it too 420x6 in bios himself. How could speed step be enabled if hes already at the lowest allowed multi? When have you ever seen cpuz been wrong over orthos and windows? Like I said windoes and orthos multiply the FSB by the default multi, not the actual one.

You fail.

Flaming doesn't help anybody. Please move on.

To the OP, I saw this awhile back on my friend's machine. If I recall correctly, he benched his machine against one of his customer's verified 4ghz C2D's. By comparing the two, he figured out that CPU-Z is accurate, despite what Windows/Orthos tell you.
 
I appreciate both your replies =p

I tried disabling c1e and e1st and didnt help.

yah when i flashed em that last time, i was in a "ahhhh fuck it i want this shit over with" and didnt take any precautions.

I believe it might be the ds3r board since prior to my failed bios attempt, i was having a problem with it keeping overclocks and auto resetting as many with teh same board have experienced.. so Ill take my chances on the blood iron when it arrives back from rma.

He set 6x BIOS and that's what CPUZ says. All signs point to CPUZ being correct. I'd say you're the one trolling.

yup
windows wont account for a lowered multi
my E7200 reads as 3.8 in windows when it is set to 3.6 in BIOS and reads as 3.6 in CPUz

CPUz is right

Here is an idea, run SuperPI :p If you get ~13 seconds or lower on 1m then you really are at 4ghz+
