Turophiliac Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 As long as I've been into overclocking, I've always heard that CPU-Z was the most accurate instrument to measure your CPU speed, but I've got a problem with it. I set my Q9550 in the bios as 452 X 8.5 and the BIOS told me I was running at 3840 MHz, and Realtemp reads the same as my BIOS, but CPU-Z (v 1.49 if you're interested) reads 452 X 8.0 and tells me i'm trunning at 3615 MHz... I'm just confused... I figured something was out of whack, so I started up 3Dmark06 and it agrees with Realtemp that I'm running with the 8.5x multi, as well as windows and Prime 95, and every other program I have that reads CPU speed. Anybody got any ideas? thanks, -Turo- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingoPongo Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Idk if it works for 1.49 but it does for 1.50 (installable). Open CPU-Z and try pressing F9... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Not surew what is the latest version number as I am not sitting at my PC but I am 100% sure it reads my q9550 using the 8.5 multi Turo. Try updating your version maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verran Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I had this problem with my E7400. The 10.5 multi read as 10 in CPU-Z. Updating the version of CPU-Z did not fix the problem for me, but a BIOS update did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turophiliac Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 thanks for the replies guys. Yeah, as soon as I saw that there was an updated version, I jumped on it, but still no dice with v 1.51. A BIOS update looks like what I need since I haven't actually updated this one yet. I'll let y'all know what happens after that.

Turophiliac Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Nope, BIOS was already updated, nothing happened, I'm just confused as to what multi I'm "actually" running... Edited May 5, 2009 by Turophiliac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
