Afterburner and GPUZ showing higher OC frequency than the set limit

When I run the Valley Benchmark I am getting 1524 MHz as the current frequency (as shown in Afterburner and GPUZ), but the boost I set shows as 1474 MHz on the GPU Clock. Why is it going over what I set?

Ok, thanks for the quick response. =)

I had always thought the limit you set was what it would cap the boost to, but I guess the Nvidia GPU boosts even more to a certain degree?
