| socket 939 junkie  |  interesting anomoly so i just purchased a celeron 420. specs are 1.6ghz, 800mhz fsb, 512kb L2. i swapped my E6750 for this chip and proceeded to overclock it. temps were great (25-30c) and it didnt need any adjustments to the vcore to easily reach 3ghz (375x8). i decide to try a 400mhz fsb. everything boots fine, however i fire up cpu-z and it says 3ghz (375x8) instead of 3.2ghz (400x8). windows says the same thing: 3ghz cpu (bios says 3.2ghz). i try everything from there. vcore, (g)mch voltage, fsb voltage. even raising the fsb to 425mhz. still booted into windows at 3ghz. the whole time the system was stable. its all very peculiar. anyone have any ideas?

| Lvl 1 College Student  | Re: interesting anomoly do you have your proc @ 100%? For some reason, CPU-z fluctuates it's measurement. That happened to me back when I Oc'd my c2d. It would say 3200 Mhz when I had full load, but when I closed FAH or w/e I had to 100% it, it would go down to 1800 or however much just having explorer+windows running takes.   |
