id think you'd hafto flash your mobo?
its not reading the right core speed, i dont think.
I maybe wrong though.

Hmm. When I restart the computer, both software shows the default clock of around 2.6Ghz with 24 Multiplier. After about a minute, "EasyTune6" goes to 260 Multipliers with and "CPU-z" goes to 12 Multipliers and the clock speed changes as indicated by the pictures above.
Is this part of I7's Turbo Boost Technology? If it is, then howcome cpu-z isn't showing the same thing?

You've probably got some kind of 'Eco' setting on thats down clocking your set-up when idling to save power.
Go into the BIOS and disable the CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) & CPU EIST Function located in the Advanced CPU Menu.

it could be that the first program finds the max speed
and CPU-Z just shows current speed (i know that as a fact)
if you start a stress test with CPU-Z open you will see those clock speeds rise and hit the peak

Alright, thanks guys. I did disable CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) & CPU EIST Function and cpu-z and core temps did detect the right core clock. I also did a stress test with CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) & CPU EIST Function enabled and it also show the peak cpu clock. I decided to go with the information that cpu z and core temps displayed, but why would easytune display something totally different and that huge?
