OK so I have my Q6600 overclocked in the bios to 3.2Ghz, CPUz says 3.2Ghz but windows and 3DMark says 3.6Ghz? The multiplier is at 8x and the volts are I think 1.325 since I am on my laptop right now at college. Since the temps are low and its rock stable just wanted to know why programs are reading my CPU as a 3.6 instead of a 3.2

Some programs are not capable of detecting the change in multiplier. I believe if you check the windows information, it will say 3.6ghz as well.

Yeah I have this problem with my Q6600/P5B Deluxe as well. If I change the multiplier, windows and a bunch of other programs don't detect it properly. I think the only one I found to work properly was Everest Ultimate.
