DS4 .5 multi lost on manul oc??

Hi all, just wondered if anyone else has experienced the same thing as me with their Gigabyte DS4. I have a E8200 and highest multi i can use is 8.

I flashed the bios so i could get the .5 multi and used the oc settings in the bios for a while set to extreme.... it ran happily @ 8.5x333.

So i decided to push it a bit further, turned on manual oc and set the fsb to 340.

Now for some reason it is 8x340 instead of 8.5, even though .5 is clearly enabled!!

I know its not much, but every little counts!! Anyone else noticed this and/or been able to get it running at 8.5?

What software are you using to see the speed.

CPU-Z - which showed the 8.5 when i just used the DS4 preset oc

Also bios displays 8x240 on boot. odd eh?

965P DS4 or P35 DS4?

Also, doesn't the E8200 have an 8x multi and only unlocked downwards?

Just checked your right, it's 8 x 333mhz, 8.5 would give 2.8ghz.
Only CPU'S which can go higher are the extreme versions.

X38.

Well i didn't think it would go higher than 8 as that was the max. But I swear the bios boot screen and cpuz both displayed 8.5 before i started manual clocking :S

Would've probably been a glitch at best. I don't see how the CPU Multi could've been raised above it's max 8x
