Cpu speed
Clock speed on my cpu seems to be wrong. I have not overclocked the cpu yet. but its showing it at 1600.0 mhz and supposed to be at 2400 mhz. Or am I wrong?

Yea i retested after i started a game running on other monitor and it jumped up to 2400 mhz. Anyone know what is a safe reliable clock speed for this cpu?
I'm running mine at 2.6 but it will depend on your MOB and cooling. All systems seem to have their sweet point and you just need to experiment. But if you want reliability increase the cooling and leave the CPU alone. IMO

You prolly no this already but when you OC be sure to up the voltages accordingly too Just a friendly reminder
nope, but dont max it out straight away, cuz more then likely it wont boot, or will sizzle into a nice pile of melted plastic X)
For some reason i cant even overclock to 2.8 i get the bsod right away. tried 2.7 same thing..
Are you doing the voltages too? ram? if you aren't sure hot to properly OC then i highly suggest not to play with it unless you wanna be without a PC
here's something to look at

Not all chips will overclock well. Each and every single chip is just a little bit different with what it will allow. In addition, your RAM is also important when it comes to stable overclocking.
