so my cpu if i look at task mamanger is running at 3,8GHz but looking at CPU-Z its running at a cosy 3,4GHz ?
Someone help me im new at overclocking.

CPU-Z is correct; you can double-check with Intel XTU. You can't overclock that CPU; increasing the BCLK is the only way and all you'd gain is 5% and probably cause data loss.

GhislainG :

XTU says it nevers goes above 3,39 or 3,4... why doesnt it boost up to 3,6GHz?

GhislainG · Jan 10, 2016

It should if you run Prime95 and on a single core.

GhislainG :

shouldnt it turbo to 3,6 GHz on all cores?

GhislainG · Jan 10, 2016

No, 3.6 on 1 or 2 cores, 3.5 on 3 cores and 3.4 on 4 cores.

You may be interested in reviews that explain how you can overclock a bit:
