Windows 7: CPU Misreading

Here is what 3 different monitors show my CPU running at, 4 different frequencies.
What is up, does your show something similar? This is at idle BTW, just these things running.

When i do open two of my monitors, i've got a delay between half a second to one second through the multiplier/core speed...between the two monitors

Yours looks more obvious on the three monitors, does it stays stable at one moment or is it stuck?.

Hum Gary seems a bit out of whack mate compared to mine mind you these are just the bog standard i5 2500's

Non: The readings are constantly changing and never match in any two at one time.

John: I agree, it doesn't seem normal, at least yours are very close.

i series chips mess with these alot lately.
Basically only check it under load. Those numbers should match.
While idle you'll likely see readings all over the place.

Good idea David, under load they all agree.

NP I learned the same thing when I first got this i7 I have now.
It's all part of the new power management stuff in the i series intel chips.
