My dad's new rig:

The Venice 3000+ that's in my dad's rig has a x10 multiplier according to nTune. Why?

10 X 200MHz = 2000MHz = 3200+'s clockspeed..

Why not?

That's not it. It ran at 275x9, and suddenly nTune said it was running at 260x10. But I believe that's impossible, since it's a 3000+.

Oh. Fvck nTune. Check the bios and check with CPU-Z.

Did that, they just show it normally. It occurs rarily. But when it does, CPU-Z shows the same thing. I updated the BIOS, too. Still the same stuff.

Just a shot in the dark here...you DID disable Cool n Quiet right?

Yes. Why? Works fine when it's enabled, but hey, we're overclocking, so Cool 'n Quiet is only a nuisance here.

Exactly. CnQ backs off the vcore and speed when the CPU is idling...BAD for overclocking. If you did disable it, I bet it's some nTune issue.
