Overclocked Speed not displaying correctly

I usually have my E5300 at 3.66Ghz with a x13 multiplier but it fails Orthos after a few hours. So I tried using a higher FSB but lower multiplier to see if it'd like it. However when I overclocked it oddly enough in Orthos and Rainmeter it displays the CPU speed as 3.96Ghz...

Is there a problem with my motherboard? :/ My P35 Neo-F is up to date with bios updates too. Weird how Orthos and Rainmeter thinks it's 305*13 (3.95Ghz) when it's actually 305*12 (3.66Ghz)

nope it's normal some programs just get confused when you change the multiplier. Cpuz will always be correct though so trust that and ignore the others

Don't forget to use IntelBurnTest to check for stability!

Ah ok, I just thought there was a bug or something.

And what are the advantages of IBT compared to Orthos/OCCT/Prime? Well Orthos and Prime are essentially the same. IBT seems a bit overkill to me. Personally I think Orthos stable is good enough for me.

IBT will push your CPU to the max heatwise - and will find failures much quicker and is much easier to test for a quck run of x20 tests rather than 24hr+ P95 run.
