When I set options in BIOS, it is in the form of even numbers. 48 x 100 for instance.
But then CPU-Z and Windows show the actual frequancy as something like 48 x 99.76 which equates to 4.788.57 GHz instead.
I'm curious if this is the nature of all overclocking, and we just claim the frequency at a BIOS level, or where this small drop off comes from. I know we have some really technically knowledgable members here, and I'm really curious to what's behind this.
Maybe I'm overthinking it, I don't know.
