Hello community,
I wanted to overclock my Xeon E5 1620, but as I tried changing the multiplier, it displayed everything correctly until I booted into Windows.
It worked sometimes, but only in rare cases. All the other times it showed up with it's normal 3,6 - 3,8 GHZ.
I know it worked sometimes, because it got better Cinebench scores and showed the correct frequency (~4GHZ).
I can't seem to find why this happens.
