So sometimes when im overclocking i notice a crazy spike in how high my speed goes on one program and another it doesn't, i was just wondering maybe the software isnt that good or maybe its something else but anyway take a look at the pic and tell me what ya think

I did have to edit it very poorly for you could see the numbers represented in "target" and still see core temp

This is likely just to be an error with the program itself or the signal it is receiving which it cannot fully comprehend.

A good example would be that sometimes when a thermocouple cannot see a temperature it will show 3000+ deg. It is likely just the program or the signal it receives. Nothing to worry about.

I will be watching it and it will spike up to something for exmaple 12ghz (i have seen it go higher) but everything operates fine. First time i saw it i got scared right away and checked everything but it runs fine, no heat problems, no lag or anything. Like my software called "easytune6" will show me very high spikes in speed, but core temp will no budge. I was just wondering is all. Thank you guys for your help
