Task manager showing wrong CPU speed

Okay so, I have a core i3 3220 Overclocked to 3.6GHz, Task manager doesn't show the overclock speed, Nor does it even hit base clock, The cpu stays around 2.3-3.0GHz... When under 100% load it still doesn't even hit base speed (3.30Ghz) Other tools Show 3.6GHz even under no stress. Bios shows 3.6GHz as well.. Any ideas?

task manager is known to have issues reporting overclocked CPU speeds

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I think it's a feature when Hyper-V enabled.

Hyper-V isn't even installed on my system.. I'm running windows 10 Home I tried disabling it and following that link with no avail, I looked up on how to disable it, From what others are saying its not compatible with home?

Well it's not much more than misinformation, doesn't harm anything.

If it's Home 10 then it's another feature that causes the feature.

Yeah i know its not going to harm anything but i'd like to see what speed i'm actually running at Lol.. And what other feature can you think would cause this?

Windows itself seems to have the feature embedded.

CPU-Z or some other program would show right numbers.

Use CPU-Z or any other decent monitoring software. Like I said in linked post, this bug has been there since Microsoft reworked Task Manager. And you can track how many times people have posted about it using our search tool.
