My computer is confusing me, so i overclocked to 2.71 no problem on my Q8200. But the temperatures were a little high so i bumped it down to 2.62. I check my temperatures and it says 2333.3. i check CPU-Z it also says 2333.3 I go into bios it says i have 2.62. I'm confused. Programs telling me its at stock and bios says 2.62. What is going on.

check with cpu-z while having a program running at 100%
q8200 can downthrottle when not active

if you are running windows 7 be sure to be set to max performance. It will in fact throttle down to or below the default clock. Find the cpu tab and make sure its set to 100% minimum and maximum.

You need to disable EIST.

Take a picture of your BIOS and post it here. My guess is that you're reading that overclock through multipliers that are locked. Q8200 can only go up to 6.

You have either C1E and / or EIST enabled.

They are two separate things, look for both.

what kind of board do you have? Most come with its own monitor tool which is more accurate in a lot of cases. I know easy tune shows my OC more accurately than cpuz.

In CPU-Z, you need to look at Core speed to determine whether if it has reached your OC specs.

CPU-Z will still detect the original model along with its stock settings.
