Vista Not Showing Correct CPU Speed

FleshwoundEU · 30 Sep 2008 at 15:36

Can anyone tell me if its possible to get vista to report the correct CPU speed plz.
Have a Q6000 at 3.4ghz (400 x 8) using vista ultimate 64bit, yet it's showing at 3.6ghz within windows (showing correct speed in everest, cpu-z etc). I have also tried to overclock my sisters E6600 in Vista Ultmate32 and that is showing the overclock in CPU-Z etc and in bios/boot up yet showing the standard speed in Vista. (cpu is not throttling back either)

Any help will be apreciated greatly as it's sending my OCD crazy

Hi and welcome

You can't get Vista to show the correct speed if you change the default CPU multiplier.

Not sure about your sisters problem. But always go by what CPU-Z says.

Maybe when Vista is upgraded to your level of math, it will know to show the correct values
