Intel core i5 2320 3.8ghz??

[Curtisonetwo]

Hello all, I have an intel core i5 2320, and what I am curious about, is that the max turbo frequency is 3.3ghz, but I fiddled with the multiplyer and bus speed, and got the cpu up to 3780.0mhz wich is near 3.8ghz, I am wondering Is cpu just saying that or is it actually clocked at that speed? Plus I have a fairly nice cooler so my temps maxed out on prime 95 only reach about 40c MAX... not very hot

I am using cpu-z and my fancy BIOS to "overclock"

If cpuz says it is 3.8ghz that is it's current clock. It might throttle down if their isn't any load.

Sweet! my motherboard has a setting to where it keeps it at the max turbo frequency, so 3780mhz it is 24/7 at a very cool state (25c Idle) Is this considered an overclock? cause the "max" turbo frequency is 3.3ghz but I clearly just got it to 3.7

I just got it to 3.9ghz

are all four cores also enabled? usually turbo max would work on a single core. but it is an OC never the less. so congratulations for that.
