Intel i7 as 3.61Ghz Unknown

Yes the speed is correct, but how do I fix the unknown part? I have SMBios.plist, but I dont see how to fix it there.

I read the other "wrong cpu info" thread but I did not see a fix there.

CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz
GPU: 2x SLI Dual GTX 260 (OpenCL working)(QE+CI)
RAM: 6GB DDR3 1600MHz 7-7-7-20

AUDIO: Realtek (5.1 config)
HDD: RAID 0- 1 + 1TB HDD's | 320GB HDD
MOBO: MSI X58 Platinum SLI (Intel ICH10)

CASE: Haf 932 Full Tower Case + Red Cathodes

Well, editing "about this mac" mac for appearance if easy.

I am asking around, sorry for cross-posting, but the thread is similar... how do you check that CPU and RAM speeds are actually working at right speed?

I also want to find out how to make the system properly recognize it.

CPU, use Cpu-X

But I still can't figure out the "Just for appearance" I just want it to show my i7 instead of Unknown.

CPU-x extracts from binary I think... does it go through the OS?

I think it was OSXTools that enable you to edit "About This Mac"

I am talking about benchmarks, run tests to triple check...

Yea, I tried using OSX86Tools and it screwed mine up. So you'll have to do it manually - it's really not that hard.

Go to /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/AboutThisMac.strings

Here's a sample from mine:
Code:
"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "3.02 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad";

Asus P5KC | Q6600 3.02GHz | 4 GB DDR2 887MHz | 9800GTX | 1TB WD Caviar Black

Snow Leopard 10.6.2
Sleep | Vanilla Speedstep | DSDT

Everything you need can be downloaded here.

Leopard 10.5.8 | Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Windows XP SP3

I use Geekbench to see what the Score is after I tweak my System.
