    I am running super-pi on my new dv7t and just notice from CPU-Z that the multiplier is 10, vs normal 9.5, and the cpu voltage is 1.383, also more than standard. Is that normal?

    I heard that intel cpu is hard to be over-clocked.

    Super pi is a single threaded application. The newer generation Intel CPUs have a feature where one core is temporarily overclocked when you are using a single threaded application (eg. super pi maxes out only one core).

    search Intel Dynamic Acceleration Technology if you want to know more
