A8N SLI bios 1006 misreporting CPU speed

I had a system hork last night and ended up having to reinstall windows when I tried to move up to the nForce 4 standalone 6.53 driver kit. So as a precaution, I cleared my cmos and went to reset all my BIOS settings before doing my Windows reinstall. I noticed upon my first entry into the BIOS, it had my CPU listed as running at some ungodly speed over 4000 MHz (don't remember the exact number it said). This is without me making any timing changes in the bios. It seemed to just detect that. Now there is no way this is possible because I am only running with a Winchester 3200 which as most probalby know is only rated at 2000MHz. Anybody else seen this happen with the 1006 BIOS? So far I hadn't had any problems with that version until I saw this happen last night. I have long since given up getting any kind of stable overclock on this system.

I have a winchester 3200+ as well. Actually it's not only the 1006 BIOS that does that. I've seen it happen on the first boot after clearing the CMOS. It has happened to me everytime I clear CMOS with all the BIOS's that I've tried. I don't think it's the actual speed though but I don't know. The temperature doesn't increase significantly so I highly doubt it's accuracy. However, I've never gotten anything like 4000MHz or over, I've gotten 3200MHz, which I thought was supposed to correspond with the 3200+ model number.
