Minor overclock not showing?

Hey guys
So I recently overclocked my NB and HT to 2400mhz (default 2000 for both) on my Sabertooth 990fx.
Bios shows it's been saved and set to it. However once in windows, CPU-Z (latest version) only shows my HT at 2000mhz.
Is there some other program I can use to check to see if those two settings are actually at 2400?
If it matters,
System:
AMD975 @ 4.0ghz
16gb Corsair DDR3 -1600
WD Raptor 500gb
AMD 7950 (975/1325)
Corsair 650watt psu
Win7 Pro

I don't think mine's showing correctly either. I'm pretty sure it's set to 2400MHz.

I had a similar problem with my ASUS P8Z77-V LK with Core i5-3570K. I could overclock to 4.5 GHz with setting the multiplier accordingly, but everything above this would not show up. My solution was to completely reset the BIOS by using the jumpers on the mainboard and I then entered the new overclocks which did show up in CPU-Z.

Have you tried putting load on the CPU?

Yea I can run prime95 for a while, cpu-z shows the clock speed at 4,000mhz just like it should, but HT still 2000:$

Guess I could try and either update the bios, im running on the second to latest bio release for this motherboard, or use jumpers and totally clear it like another person suggested.

Does the BIOS info show the HT correctly? If so, then CPU-Z is wrong and you're set. The screenshots I posted show it's wrong for me as well, and is just multiplying the FSB by 10. Hell the older CPU-Z got my FSB wrong as well.

Yup in bios it shows FB and HT speed both at 2400 up from the default of 2000.
Cool guess its correct then =)

Hmm any other software that would read such info besides CPUZ?
