So I've got a new Q9450 running, rated at 2.66GHZ. I run CPU-Z a few days after I have most of my programs installed, and I got around to it, and something seems off.
The core speed it lists is a mere 2000 MHZ? Multiplier is at 6, according to CPU-Z. I dont use this program a lot, but it seems my CPU has been ...underclocked? Voltage jumps from 1.128 - 1.136 - 1.144. Is this correct? I've got an EVGA 780I board. Is it as simple as cranking the multiplier up to 8 to get the correct, 2.66GHZ speed?
I've got a Hyper 212 Coolermaster on it, and I've seen reports of similar processors being crnaked to 3.86, though I'm not interested in pushing it that far.
