How do you check to see if CPU is overclocked?

[Zybekk]

I've done dxdiag and it only shows my cpu being 3.5ghz. It's ment to be overclocked to 4.6ghz?

Either check in your bios. Or Down load cpuid and run IBT test u will sees if the speed goes up.. What board n CPU do u have??

Bottom left u will see the speed increased from stock or about 1600 to 4700 if it's over locked... Depends if speed step is turned on

If you bought the overclocked system from OcUK, iirc the system I bought had a folder on the desktop containing the programs used for overclocking and the test results from the overclock. Have a look.

I've downloaded the CPU-Z. But it still shows my CPU being clocked to 3.30ghz, it's ment to be 4.6ghz?

Or am I missing something here?

Does this work?

THat is showing your CPU underclocked, which it does automatically when not in use to save power. Try taxing it to see if you are getting 4.6 or not

With Speed Step technology you won't see it as being overclocked unless you put it under load.

Run Prime95 or IBT.

see post#4 for links

Can't really understand this program but I done the stress test and saw it go to 3.4mhz

Okay, maybe it isn't overclocked then. Did the PC come with any paperwork? I think sometimes they require you to put in some settings.

I brought it from OCuk

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

Interesting and how do I go about doing/finding that?
