BCLK rose to 137.6—unintentionally part of the 6.6 GHz group. Is your motherboard in trouble?

Due to minor instability, some computations may produce unexpected results. This is uncommon (both our and your averages were accurate), but increasing the voltage can slightly improve consistency. When you open the viewer, you'll typically see many WHEA events indicating fixable issues by the processor. At that moment, I adjusted the system's base clock, while yours appears to be the main unit itself.
It makes sense; I’ll monitor WHEA events too. I’ve got about 5 cents of buffer before reaching 90c under continuous testing, which gives me confidence to slightly increase the voltage. Appreciate the advice!
I understand. The setting is 100.0, though I see it's unusual that 37% occurred recently. It hasn't happened again since.
Unless it's NIB, remember it's still around 5 years old. A lot of folks purchase K-SKU items and don't go overclocking, which means they usually get the fastest chips in that category even without optimization. You might be lucky to own a chip recommended by a "grandma."
This item is a fresh release, possibly the last one Newegg had available. The packaging suggests it's meant for Korea, indicating limited US stock. My wife managed to secure it before it ran out. I've been eager for this CPU since its launch and am thrilled to finally own one!
