Computer says 3.4GHZ - CPU-Z says 4.2 GHZ

[iMark]

Computer still says 3.4ghz but its running at 4.2ghz....

Is this normal for Windows 7 not to display right?

I can't make a word out on that terrible photo of your desktop lolz

My guess though would be CPU-Z might be reporting your turbo speed. You CPU can switch off a number of it's cores to save power and use that saved power to overclock your other cores. Most applications are not multi thread supported and will only use a single core at a time.

Everything in the BIOS is set to Turbo
Power management is set to Performance as well not Normal / Power Save mode, CPU-Z clock speed keeps changing from 41-42 so I'm assuming CPU-Z is the correct speed but Windows is being durr and not displaying that is is running in Turbo/Overclocked
