Check if CPU supports overclocking and follow guidelines for safe adjustments.
Your processor operates at higher speeds than expected, which may indicate intentional overclocking or a hardware issue. Check your motherboard settings and BIOS to confirm if boost mode is enabled. If stable performance is needed, consider reverting to the default speed.
It could put stress on your CPU if it runs continuously at that high boost frequency.
It shouldn't be this way; the 4.2 is an approved specification from AMD regarding the safest clock speed. Because the CPU understands the temperature, it wouldn't increase performance if overheating occurred.
