I have an i5 2500k that I recently overclocked to 4.2 ghz. How do I know it's runnning at that speed? Does it have to say so in cpu-z? What about in windows? In windows it just says 3.3ghz.

Put it under load and watch CPU-Z. You'll also probably want Core Temp.

Ok so I put under load and cpu-z has 4.2 ghz. Same with core temp. So my OCing is fine? Windows doesn't list 4.2

Windows often just looks up the stock frequency. If it says 4.2GHz in CPU-Z, CoreTemp, HWInfo, TMonitor, etc, then it's 4.2GHz. :thumbsup:
