My CPU is at 4.5Ghz and my GPU is factory overclocked.

I think NVidia cards generally suck in 3D Mark 13 so don't worry about it. My card has an overclocked BIOS giving 950/1250 default but I have raised that further to 1150/1500 and all seems well and stable.
 
Sorry Greg my i7 920 is at 4 Ghz and water cooled but i assume that 3dmark is just misreading it, or not clocking it up is a possibility suppose. I might have to go disable the C1E (I think that is what controls the down clocking?) in the bios and see if it make a difference. The 470 is a stock MSI reference cooler version as well, and yes it is bleeding loud lol.

3d mark is well known for not picking up clock speeds bru, it only sees my i5 and gpu stock speeds. Was the same with 3dm 11 and my old i7 920 too.

Disable EIST then 3D Mark will show the overclocked speed. The trouble is when 3D Mark reads the CPU speed its not doing nothing strenuous so shows the lower speedstep speed.
