I use HWiNFO to monitor my computer, it is the only program that I use, so there is nothing to interfere with it.

 

  Sometimes I will get a reading that will look like this:

     My computer runs perfectly fine, I never have any issues but this insanely high Mhz reading will sometimes happen for no reason.  The voltage and temperatures remain normal, I don't notice a hiccup or stutter or anything, so I am chalking it up to a software error.  The thing is, it is happening more and more frequently.  In the past it used to happen once every few days, now it is happening almost hourly and I usually "Reset Values" just to get rid of it.  I am using the most recent version of HWiNFO, but not BETA.

 

I have seen other people who had this problem, but their Maximum was tame in comparison to mine, 9,000 or 11,000, but not 6,757,805...  Anyone ever encountered this before or know what might be going on?  I am not experiencing any issues with performance, temperatures or usage so I'm chalking it up to a software problem / bad reading unless someone has anything else to add.

Just a small error with the program it seems. Just wait until the next version is released.
