weird Asus Maximus Formula II issue

[PsyKhiqZero]

With my AB9-Pro, I overclocked my Q6600 to 3.0 ghz (333mhzx9). Both core temp and windows vista reported the same speeds and I was happy. However I upgraded to a maximus II and overclocked to 3.2ghz (400x8). Now widows vista reports my speed at 3.6 ghz while core temp reports 3.2 ghz. This isn't really a big deal as my temps are fine and system is stable but I have to know if this is normal. Does anyone else have this issue when messing with their multiplier?

Download RealTemp, it works better then Core Temp for Intel procs.

RealTemp dropped my temps by 10c and it reports 3.2ghz (400x8) which is what I set in the mobo. However Vista still reports 3.6ghz.

Go to Asus Vip Forum board and read these 2 threads below. You need to Disable SpeedStep and C1E. otherwise it will throttle down your cpu to lower multipler and then show lower ghz.
