Just got my core i7 (920) rig, wanted to see if my system is stable at stock before I start OC it. I ran CPU-Z, Coretemp and 2 instaces of LinX ( max out all 8 cores). Strangely enough, CPU-Z showed that my CPU is running at 2.8GHz (21*133) - even after maxing all 8 cores for 1 hour - here. Coretemp, however, showed the CPU running at 128.51*21=2.7GHz. The core temps at full load are 70/69/69/70. My other parts are:
Gigabyte EX58-DS4
6*2GB Kingston ValueRAM DDR1333
I did not overclock in any way. ( everything was left at default). Bios report: 20*133.
I thought turbo boost only works if only 1 or 2 cores are loaded and the rest are idle, but in my case it seems to work even after I max out all 8 'cores'.
Is this a bug?
