I just got an i7 Extreme performance rig from OC today :) It should be overclocked to 3.6ghz but I just wondered how I went about confirming this? I'm not saying I don't trust OC lol, but I just want to be sure. When I check in Vista's system info page, it reports the processor at the default speed of 2.6 (well it actually says 2.7).

Thx guys.

I just installed cpu-z. Does this look right to you guys? Sorry, I am new to overclocking and this is my first pc upgrade since about 2002!
 
Awesome! Thx for the help guys. Is it normal for that clock speed to drop? I have noticed that it says 3600mhz and then tends to drop to about 2100. It will then go back to 3600 when I open cpu-z again. Is this just because the cpu is idling?
 
Thanks RJC, just looked at the thread you linked. Everything is looking sweet then. Now I just need to get some games installed!
