Windows 7 CPU speed estimation?

[topdog@OC]

Hadn't noticed this before, but is this an estimation of the speed? Because I'm sure I've never run the WEI or been running my system with anything but 3.4GHz base and a turbo multiplier between 42x and 46x to temporarily boost it to 4.6GHz.

Or do all (even non-OC'd) i7 2600K's report this same value in Win7 based off some sort of assumption on what the max turbo could produce in theory (if it wasn't capped in the bios/mobo)?

Just curious as to why it displays that 5.80 GHz there.

My CPU and RAM get a 7.8 by the way; the 7.7 is from the graphics (Gigabyte 460 SOC). I'm aware the scoring is a bit bat*** crazy, for example you could have a 10GHz CPU and it still wouldn't score max unless you had a specific number of cores/threads available as it just reserves some of the score for things like that.

I was just wondering if it was normal for it to display what it was displaying, but if it's a bug I'll likely leave it. I hadn't changed the hardware either by the way, that was what I had in there when it was installed but perhaps any overclocking can also confuse it.

Cheers for the replies.
