Question Overclocking e6600 on 680i.......

Hey guys I just finished my fist build and everythign went great. I have a question on my overclock though. I wanted a moderate but safe clock so I decided to go with 3.2ghz and run 1:1 with my xms2 ddr800 ram. I dropped my multiplier to 8 and have my FSB at 1600. Bios show my cpu at 3200 but all my other monitoring software say I am running at 3.6 for some reason. System properties, Ntune, and Nvidia monitor all show my cpu at 3.6. Can anyone tell me why possibly. It seems to be stable and all my times are way below danger zone so Im not really worried i just am curious why. Thanx.................

Use CPU-Z. That will tell you whether you did in fact successfully unlock the multiplier.
