Nice fast program to show me my OC

genicide · 29 Mar 2011 at 17:10

Hi guys

I recently bought an OcuK overclocked i7 bundle but while I can see the OC as the target in Bios I haven't seen any actual evidence though the pc. Is there any quick program I can run to show me OC? I have looked through the list at the start of this page but which is the best and easiest to use??

cpu-z will show the clock of your cpu.

But remember that if intel's powersaving feature is turned on then the clock will be low while the computer is idle. You will see the clock jump up when you start to stress the processor.

Indeed. Download CPU-Z, Prime 95 and run them simultaneously.

Get it from here.

Thnx guys

I already have CPU-Z and that's showing the standard clock....off to get prime 95

Hmm, I'm running tham both at the moment and it's still showing stock...time for further investigation

eddyc · 29 Mar 2011 at 17:47

If that is still showing stock then the OC is not enabled. Time to ring OCUK I reckon OR have a dig around in BOIS and see if you can enable the overclocked profile.

I've tried a few times to enable the profile but I must be doing something wrong.

eddyc · 29 Mar 2011 at 21:54

I would just ring OCUK in that case

Think I may have sorted it...

Does Core Speed 1650 > 4430 and Multiplier x16 > x43 sound about right?

Holdon Tight · 30 Mar 2011 at 01:06

Yes, nice work I had the same worry

genicide · 31 Mar 2011 at 17:16

Would a 4430 Core speed with the x43 Multiplier represent a 4.6GHz clock speed?

If your FSB is 107/108/109 then yeah that would be right

No, it means your computer is clocked to 4.43 GHz. Core speed IS clock speed.

Yeah that too. Your clock speed is your CPU multiplier multiplied by your Front Side Bus

that seems right
if you have any more questions post in the support section of the forums so a technical advisor can assist you

TechPowerUp CPU-Z. Also, GPU-Z if you plan to overclock your graphics card. Got my 560 running at 900/1800. Will OC to 1000/2000 when I add an exhaust fan to the side of my case...
