    I was having some issues with windows 7 turbo using all 4 cores on my Q740, and only allowing the 14x multiplier. Seeing as a 24x multiplier is max for a single core 20x for 2 cores , 18x for 3 cores, and 14x for 4 cores ( I'm relativity certain on the multipliers). I was getting annoyed with the fact that I'd never see the 2.6 ghz dual core when using a 2 core program. So I checked my academic alliance account and saw I finally got a few Windows 8 keys I tried it out, and used a few monitor tools, in which I saw this....

    When using apps I still only get 20x on 2 cores max, and that's very seldom. This was taken after turning on TMonitor_x64. the cores all stayed at that constant multiplier while TMonitor was running.
    Any thoughts?

    It was a good read, and would have been more interesting had I read it before installing windows 8. The main point I'm trying to make here is the fact that I'm getting 19-20x Multipliers on all 4 cores at the same time. I'm more worried about my cpu flash frying if I run both monitor programs at the same time XD.

    No matter what you throw at your CPU, unless you have overheating issues, there is no way to fry it. A lot of monitoring programs will report 20x multi on all 4 core, but they aren't reading the multipliers for each cores properly or quickly enough.
