Which number to trust?

Hiya all. After doing some OC'ing on my new E7200 I noticed that CPU-Z tells me that my CPU is 3.2 while 3DMark06 tells me its 3.4. Who do I choose?!

go by whats set in bios...CPU-z is most likely right.

3dmark 06 gets cpu speeds wrong quite often. Cpu-z would be correct, and as sneeky said, your BIOS will be most accurate
