Um, is this a problem?

So I checked on the performance tab of task manager and I was surprised to see my cpu hitting nearly 5.5 ghz. I have it overclocked to 4.4 ghz but for some reason it's all the way at 5.5 ghz. No voltage overclock or anything i just raised the multiplier so i would get 4.4 ghz. Is this a problem?

You should check with CPU-Z. But, maybe you left Turbo Boost on.

Turbo would just raise it to 4.4 though as far as I've ever seen.

I'd check CPU-Z.

On mobile CPU's that isn't uncommon. When Windows is set to high performance, it'll keep clocking up just to be ready for tasks. I know Task Manager can't read memory right, so check CPU-Z.

cpu-z is saying it's 4.4ghz so it'sall fine but why would task manager report 5.5 ghz?

Windows isn't very good at these things natively? I'm not sure. Task Manager thinks I have 1333Mhz RAM.

Windows gets confused once you're not stock anymore.
