not sure if link works but 3.958mhz for my i5?

Are you asking a question or making a statement?

Link works fine

 

[timmymeuk1]

Is it working right? overclocking it that much without to much heat to. in bios i only set it to 3.4ghz and now says 3.9 in cpuz

What FSB and Multi did you set in the bios, do they match the CPU-Z readings in your link?
Could be it's miss reading your motherboad ?

 

[timmymeuk1]

well considering my multiply in bios only go to 20 and its 21 in cpuz lol

 

[UKDTweak]

Your CPU-Z actually shows the multi as 24.
To be honest, I have no experiance with OC'ing an I5 CPU, so perhaps somebody who does will post shortly... therefore post your motherboard model to help

Here's mine done by OcUK.

Well my multiplyer keeps going from 21 to 24, think its that speed step but i thought it was meant to go down when not used.

That high multiplier should be due to Intel Turbo boost. On the i5 it is 1/1/4/4, so when 3 or 4 cores are heavily loaded, it increases the multiplier by one to x21. However, if only one or two cores are loaded, turbo boost can increases the multiplier by 4 - to a total multiplier of x24.

Therefore, from that CPU-Z screenshot I guess you are loading your machine with a single or dual threaded application to activate turbo boost.

Personally, I turn turbo boost off so I have control of the clockspeeds.
