Check if your CPU is running overclocked or in turbo mode. In Task Manager it lists a max speed of 3.40GHz while your CPU is already at 4.29GHz when idle, and it appears in cpuz as well. You also want to know the recommended safe overclock for the 4670K with Coolermaster Hyper Evo 212.

Sohom :
You're asking about maximum speed on the side... right? Lol
That will always display the processor's stock max clock. Don't worry about that...
Sorry if I caused any concern.
So I'm fine and can begin stress testing with prime95 now? What should I monitor besides temperatures reaching around 80c to 85c?
Keep HWINFO running quietly in the background and constantly check the temps—never let them rise too high. Also, watch out for any errors or crashes during the test. I'd suggest turning off AVX2 while stress testing with prime95, as it can sometimes show overly high temperatures.
If the temperatures stay under 80°C during operation, you're good to proceed; a buffer of about 3 to 5 degrees seems reasonable.

I don't notice any issues... Recheck the task manager... Ensure High performance mode is enabled in power settings on Windows.

Yes, the task manager displays it as 4.29ghz constant while showing "max speed 3.40ghz".
I'm using a gigabyte z97 sli mobile card.

Oh yeah, it means showing the highest speed your processor can reach... don't worry about that.
