I've just changed over to my shiny new Chillblast PC. It's great. But I
thought I ought to check some of the basics.
I ordered a 4.3GHz overclock onto a 3.5GHz Core i5. The BIOS still
calls this 3.5G and Chillblast tried to convince me that it was just an
uninformative BIOS. They suggested using CPU-Z under Windows, which
"they always use".
The current alternative for Linux, as far as I could find, is i-Nex.
But I need to know if it really works.
Why? Because i-Nex also says the CPU goes no faster than 3.5GHz! Funny
that.
i-Nex is a bit odd in reporting CPU speed. It never changes the value
unless you pick a different core and after that the previous core's
value could have changed. The values it reports are a few specific
values between 800 and 3501 MHz exactly.
I'll see you tomorrow.
