Re: Help w/ 3.2B Multi on EP43-DS3LR

I am using an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro with Arctic Silver 5. Real Temp reports 65-68 C during Intel Burn Test [max 10 loops] @ 3500 Mhz. When I have it at 333 x 10 @ 1.24375v, I get around 60-62 C Max load temp via Real Temp.

Are these temperatures bad enough to lower my OC & vcore? For some strange reason my BIOS reports a lower CPU temperature than does Real Temp. I am more inclined to trust Real Temp, but I'm not for sure.

RealTemp & BIOS report temrature that is read from different sensors.

You will find some info that will clear things up here & here.

Is it OK that Windows and other games / programs don't recognize the right CPU speed? I notice that when I check the console after Crysis loads it reports my system as 4.16 Ghz instead of the 333 x 10 = 3330 Mhz. It won't hurt performance will it?

Thank you so much for the suggestions Psycho.

It is an issue with some programs that don't use the correct way of detecting CPU speed. Crysis is one of those programs, and even windows itself is guilty of it. These progs use the default max multi x current FSB to arrive at the CPU speed, even if you've lowered the multiplier. For example Windows & and even Orthos Prime report my CPU speed as 4.315GHz, (10.5*411) when it is in fact 3.9GHz (9.5*411). Nothing to worry about. What ever CPU-Z reports is highly accurate.
