when overclocked, there is no way of getting an accurate reading of the
processor speed other than running a benchmark. What you're seeing in
/proc/cpuinfo is the best guess that the cpufreq code could come up with based
on the wrong information that it had to work with from the BIOS.

(The BIOS typically only has information about the stock cpu speeds, not the
overclocked ones)

There's no bug here afaics. You ran your hardware outside of spec, and stuff
broke as a consequence. Expected behaviour.
