I have my multiplier set to 8x instead of the default 9 and the bus speed at 380 that equals 3040mhz but orthos is saying its running at 3418mhz , TAT says the same and so does windows but CPU-Z says 3040 like it supposed to be, I have the themal management off in the bios and cool and quiet so can someone please enlighten me on whats goin on, I had it higher last night and it seemed like it was going to run but I got error beeps about the floppy controller when I was at 3.2 (400x8) .

My memory is running at Freq- 379.8mhz, 1:1, 4-4-4-12 / CPU Vcore- 1.432 /FSB- 1519.2
 
I think some programs don't recognise any change in the CPU's multiplier, which is why they're reporting your CPU core frequency as if you had a 9x multiplier rather than 8x.
 
so is it ok to run like that? right now I've had orthos running for 3 hours, i am gonna let it run a bit longer but when I get my swiftech 120 kit this week.

thanks guys,
 
hi there

I have the same fault i have a c2d 6400 running at 2.8ghz, 400x7=2800
But windows sees it as 3.2ghz as well as numerous other programs. And like
you the only program to see it correctly is cpuz. I also think the same as the other
guy in that some programs dont see any change to the multi. Well it makes sense to
me any ways.
 
Yes, most programs do not account for a lower multiplier. Yes, it is fine. Yes, they try to "adjust" to the speed by reporting (falsely) a higher bus speed. :D
