Your system runs with the Ryzen 3600X at a base speed of 3.80 GHz, and you've only adjusted XMP for memory settings. Even when idle, the CPU frequently jumps to 3.9 GHz or higher. This behavior isn’t unusual—CPU speeds can fluctuate due to various factors like thermal conditions or power delivery. However, frequent jumps might indicate a cooling issue or hardware stress. It’s wise to monitor temperatures and consider checking for dust buildup or ensuring proper airflow. If the trend continues, consulting a technician could be prudent.

The base clock adjusts its value based on load and temperature changes. The system ensures the temperature stays within safe limits.

Occasionally I notice it reaching up to 4.2 GHz at a 3% load—does that seem typical? Also, what surprises me is that the frequency stays relatively stable; sometimes it drops even further than when idle.
