True Processor Speed Other than CPUID, is there any utility out there that will tell you your true Processor speed (NOT the the Manufacturers rating) ??????

Did some more checking - Apparently CPU-Z is the only utility that correctly shows my 980X overclocked to 4 Ghz. Called several "heavy duty" techs at Alienware - we ran bunch of tests - looks like CPU-Z is only one that measures true core frequency. Still searching the Internet for something else that will show true core frequency.  
Did a little comparing using Super Pi - At 4 Ghz runs 1M at approx 10.2 sec | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Alienware Aurora OS Win 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Core I7 980X O.C. to 4.0 Ghz Motherboard Custom Intel mATX (Bios ver A10) Memory 12GB 1600 mhz triple channel DDR3 - Kingston Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5970 2GB Video Card Sound Card Creative Labs Titanium sound blaster Monitor(s) Displays 30" Dell LCD Screen Resolution 2560 x 1600 Keyboard Logitech G15 (original version) Mouse Logitech MX1000 Laser - Wireless PSU 850 Watt Case Alienware Aurora Cooling Water Hard Drives 240 GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD

Alienware had me change all the CPU turbo Ratios (for all 6 cores) from 28 to 30. The Aurora was originally shipped to me by Alienware overclocked to 3.73 Ghz. The Bclk is set to 133.7 Mhz. If you Multiply the 133.7 Mhz by the Turbo Ratio of 28 you get 3743.6 Mhz (or 3.73 Ghz) but if you multiply the Bclk of 133.7 Mhz times the Turbo Ratios that Alienware had me change to 30 then you get 133.7 x 30 or 4011 Mhz (or 4.011 Ghz).
So CPUZ is correct in determining the Processors True Speed - Thanx PBCOPTER    Double Click the Image to enlarge the CPUZ data. Just for the record Alienware also had me change the CPU CORE OFFSET to +100 Mv and the TDP limit to 230. Also Checked all the core temps and the GPU temps - everything below 50 degrees C. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Alienware Aurora OS Win 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Core I7 980X O.C. to 4.0 Ghz Motherboard Custom Intel mATX (Bios ver A10) Memory 12GB 1600 mhz triple channel DDR3 - Kingston Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5970 2GB Video Card Sound Card Creative Labs Titanium sound blaster Monitor(s) Displays 30" Dell LCD Screen Resolution 2560 x 1600 Keyboard Logitech G15 (original version) Mouse Logitech MX1000 Laser - Wireless PSU 850 Watt Case Alienware Aurora Cooling Water Hard Drives 240 GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD

I like the All CPU Temp Windows 7 gadget: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/addons.html http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDeta...7-bbdb7c47183c
Combined with Coretemp you can monitor your "true" processor speed and core temps in a gadget.
