Hello,

this bug seems to still be present in 14.10 development.

CPU: Intel Pentium G3258
MB: Gigabyte Z97N-Gaming 5

I'm not sure whether this is purely a cosmetic issue, or if Ubuntu is
actually overriding the CPU frequency

Title:
  [Gigabyte EP45-UD3L] CPU frequency reported incorrectly after
  overclocking

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The stock speed of Intel E3300 is 2.5 GHz (200*12.5). I had pushed the
  FSB from 200 MHz to 300 MHz in the BIOS, giving 3.75 GHz (300*12.5).
  However, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and "cpufreq-info" incorrectly shows
  3.33, 2.67, 2.13, 1.6 GHz, which are probably based on 266 MHz FSB
  (266*12.5=3.33, 266*10=2.67, 266*8=2.13, 266*6=1.6).

  "dmidecode --type processor" shows it at 3.75 GHz all the time, no
  matter which frequency or governor was selected in CPU Frequency
  Scaling Monitor.
