I'm working with an Asrock z370 extreme4 and attempting to overclock it, but the results aren't clear. In the BIOS there are preset settings up to 5.0, but 4.9 and 5.0 are marked red—uncertain about the reason. I tried setting it to 4.8, though I doubt it's effective since screenshots still display the base clock.

Open the 'bench' section in CPUZ, select 'stress CPU', then review the clocks once more. Halt the stress test when finished. Also keep an eye on CPU temperatures and confirm you have a suitable cooler. 1.36v VCORE could generate some heat during operation.

The goal of the stress test was to check if your CPU reaches 4.8ghz when under pressure. Idle speeds will decrease below 1ghz to conserve energy.
