Why is CPU-Z lying to me ?

Ok this is weird

My BIOS and CPU-Z are saying 2 different things, my CPUs multiplier is at 9 in the bios, yet CPU-Z says it is at 6 ?

Heres an example

core speed 2220.00
multiplier x 6
bus speed 370mhz
rated FSB 1480.1

Although I have also noticed it keeps jumping every so often, it will come up with the correct settings of say

core speed 30000 odd
multiplier x 9

It also says the ram ratio is 4:5 is that really poo, what have I messed up ??

Thought i was overclocked to around 3.3 ghz bit i guess not ?? although its one thing in bios, one thing in windows :s

BTW in the system rating is does say Q6600 @ 2.4ghz 3.33ghz ...

Yea, I've realised

sorry, i actually googled it and found it out in seconds what to diable in the bios

sorry, doh !!!

Dunno why i didnt think of that, coz processors/motherboards have had this function for years, an old laptop of mine did it

Thanks anyways though (bit of a waste of a thread on my behalf then)
