So, the other day I decided to OC my CPU an i7-4790K. And I'm happy with the overclock. But for some odd reason the windows task manager shows that my CPU is stuck at 0.80 ghz, but if I check CPUz it says it's 4.5ghz which is the correct CPU speed. Is there any way to get windows to recognize the OC?

 

Thanks

You need a load on the CPU in order for Task manager to see it, and even then its sometimes buggy. Start a game or something

Even when in a game or stress testing, it will just show 90% + utilization but the speed will be bugged at 0.80GHz
