The system I am overclocking is a socket 939 nforce 4 board running amd 4200 x2(manchester). I set the front bus to 220 go back in the bios system running at 2410 mhz like it should. Let the system load windows 7 does fine. Then load cpu-z v1.49 and the system is only at it default speed of 2216 mhz. So I restart going into the bios turn off cool and quiet. Still only 2216 mhz. What on earth is going going on? I aslo did pi test on the system test exactly the same as when it was at stock speed. Also window 7 report that cpu is at 2216 Is this possible some sort issue Windows 7?
 
The speed it reports in your BIOS is the speed that it is running. When you reboot and go back tot he BIOS is it still running at 220 and 2410? If it is, try using crystalcpuid. CPU-Z has been reporting bad numbers on some machines recently... including mine. Check the stickied thread above.
 
Your CPU is running @2410 in BIOS and @2216 in Windows. Some sort of power-saving mechanism is at work.
 
in my experience the bios is more oft wrong than the software (especially regarding memory timings)
aren't there any htt clock changing tools for windows? try those and check cpu-z/bench inbetween
