Overclock Speed Display Question

Hi, I have my 3570k at 4.4GHz. Core Temp and CPU-Z displays it as 4.4GHz.

 

Start menu > Computer > Properties displays 'i5 3570k @ 3.40GHz 3.40GHz'. If it makes a difference, I have turbo boost on for some settings (forgot what they were called), but the turbo multipliers are at 44.

 

Which one is correct, and which one should I ignore?

Ignore the one from the start menu. 

Cpu-z has it right.

No. You're fine. Your CPU is at 4.4GHz. As long as the BIOS and CPU-Z (and other programs like Core Temp) report your 4.4GHz overclock, you're fine. Ignore the processor properties in Windows.
