Windows 8 Task Manager CPU Speed?

No screenshots as I'm at work, but...

I've noticed that the Win 8 Task Manager Performance Tab lists the CPU as running way UNDER speed compared to CPU-Z.

I was running Fallout 3 with CPU-Z and Task Manager open on my second monitor. CPU-Z says the CPU is running at 3.6 Ghz, like I have set in BIOS. However Windows Task Manager never said my CPU went over 2.2 Ghz?

Anyone else notice this?

My system as comparison:
MSI P55-G55 latest BIOS
i5-750 @ 3.6 Ghz
Win 8 Pro
 
Windows Task Manager as I've noticed does not properly report overclocked speeds.
 
That's what is seems to me as well, except it's reporting the CPU as under-clocked by 400 Mhz (assuming it is at stock speed of 2.6 Ghz).
