Athlon 1333 @ 1335???

hi, just wondering if this is normal, i recently built myself a new computer with AMD Athlon 1333 MHz 266 fsb processor and when its not overclocked, all the programs i have say the speed is 1335 MHz instead of 1333 MHz. So i was just wondering if anyone with a similar CPU knows if its normal for it to run a few MHz faster without being overclocked or did i just get lucky??

yeah thats normal your ok.

welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums.

Yep thats normall with my 1.2 @ default setting its 9x133 when you get out the trustly calculator you can see the actuall speed is 1197. Thats basiclly what all my benchmark and programs say within 5 mhz anyway.

Wait when I check the default for the 1.3 is 10x133 right well it actually should be 1330 , well anyway its not something to worry about regardless.

1.2 9x133=1297
1.3 10x133 = 1330
1.4 10.5x133 = 1396.5

Actually, in your calculator you should enter 133.33333,
hence, 133.333333x9=1200, 133.33333x10=1333, etc.

Yeah 1335 is the norm I've seen in other programs like sisoft sandra.

why worry, you have an extra 2mhz to use!

ok, thanx guys.

Yup thats perfectly normal! The fsb on most mobos aint accurate.
Ï get nearly 2mhz fsb extra, which is over 10mhz i think
