Cool n Quiet Overclocking anomaly?

Hey guys,

 

Dont normally post or make topics here, but I thought this was thread worthy.

 

I was reading up on overclocking whilst keeping Cool'n'Quiet enabled and discovered it automatically disables when you increase the multiplier above 19x.

 

So, to get to 3.8GHz I went up to 18.5 and increased the bus speed to around 217.

 

It worked fine, fully stable and voltages/frequency decreased as normal.

 

I just checked Core Temp and saw that my frequency's were jumping al over the place. I got a screenshot of them at 7.6GHz, but they also hit 4.3, 4.6 and then drop down to 2.1.

 

What to think?

You're not running at 7.6. Coretemp is just reporting the wrong speeds...by a lot.

 

Obviously you set 217 fsb but it's reading 417. :P

 

 

My fx-8120 messed with coretemp too...it read 16.5 ghz half the time.
