    13th multiplier is IDA Intel dynamic acceleration, CPU-z picks it up as an overclock since one core is idling while the other core is doing all the work.

    No it dosent go up that high very offten. I had to set Super pi to only use core 1 and tell it to run then it jumped up and actually gained me a few seconds quicker on it.
