How do you check to see if CPU is overclocked?

My understanding was that some OCUK systems come not overclocked, but they have all the settings that they have tested and you have to put some settings in to get the overclock

Mine came already overclocked.

As I mentioned earlier the programs and test results where contained in a folder.

You may have a saved overclocked bios profile that needs activating.

Were you using Prime95?

Did you select blend test?

If you are unsure doing this/using these programs I suggest you contact OcUK

either through the forums here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=116

or send a webnote or phone them.

Yes I've found some other programs that are stress testing my cpu. I activate them and on CPU-Z, my cpu MHz goes to just shy of 3.4
 
To me it does seem like it is not overclocked. If you are comfortable finding the settings (we can help) then we'll do that. If not it may be best to wait and just contact overclockers.
 
Well it might have been a mistake, or like someone said it may just be a setting saved by them somewhere that needs to be selected. One second I will look up what to do on your specific PC.

Well there is a specific loggon called OCuk. However, I can't find any notes or anything to overclocker?
 
I dont mean to be rude, but it might just be worth contacting overclockers?

EDIT: from what I can tell from the manual your motherboard can't save an overclocked profile, so it seems like an error on OCUK's side. OR there is a document with settings on we are missing. Did you definitely not get any paperwork with the PC?
