Hay guys! I have clocked the processor on other utilities as well (outside of task manager) and they have come up at around 6.7ghz. This seems very high for a multiplier locked processor that is air cooled. To anyone with more experience, is this just an unlikely misread or have I actually achieved 6.7ghz on an i7-2600? This doesn't seem possible.
What voltage is this at?!
scratches head at temp and clock speed
1.35v i believe
It's not possible, task manager is reporting incorrectly.

What does your BIOS say?
You are in the Twilight Zone. Where anything is possible.
Windows task manager is not the most accurate or reliable. As you have just seen.
ohmygod you're even using OneDrive xD therefore everything is possible

Its probably that there are errors being thrown out by overclocking a non-overclocking chip, as can be seen on other parts such as Modern Xeons. Realtemp is reporting it correctly though.

Thanks guys. I was like 90% sure it was inaccurate. Just wanted to make sure it was task manager being dumb.
Thanks for the info.

Yet tells me my system is only 0.7GHz when in reality it's 4.7GHz and so refuses to update
