I have my Q6600@ 3.85GHz, yet in vista64 in "properties" it says my quad is 2.39GHz? What gives? Clearly the PC is operating @ 3.85GHz. Here is a screen shot to show you what I mean:

all fixed.......I can see your product key...
Its possible it is reporting the default speed of the CPU only.
In XP I get the same but it also reports the overclocked speed.
In System Properties, General Tab, it says:
E8400 @ 3.00GHz
then underneath it says
4.00GHz, 3.25GB of RAM
Can someone who is running Vista with an OC'ed CPU confirm this.I believe that is correct. It reports the speed from the CPU's identifier, not the actual speed it's running at.
ok, so all it does is read the CPU string, not the OC'ed speed.... Thanks bro.My E6600 reports as 2.4GHz (default speed) in Vista even though CPU-Z shows it at 3.2GHz, which is it's actually speed.
I had a Pentium D 930 in my asus maximus formula for some time. It's a 3.0 GHz cpu. I had it OCd to 3.6 and Vista did show the default of 3.0 and the current of 3.6. However I have just upgraded to the Q9550 and I have it running at 3.4 and Vista DOES NOT show the speed on the new cpu. So it would appear it does not show the current speed for quad cores. Or maybe it's just newer cpu's it can't deal with. Who knows.... But the point being...... it is suppose to show the speed it's running at. The real question is ...... Does Microsoft know about it? and are they doing anything to fix it?
