Check the maximum clock! Is it really achievable?
Check the maximum clock! Is it really achievable?
I left my PC overnight to download games from Epic. While I was away, I checked the HWmonitor to see what was happening. When I woke up today, I found all downloads completed. The HWmonitor displayed a maximum clock speed of 6.4Ghz! That’s impossible. My CPU is barely overclocked and nothing was occurring during the download. Here is a screenshot.
It seems there was a misunderstanding. The maximum temperature is significantly too low, and the current is much higher than expected. It likely was a brief surge or mistake that led to the data changes. If the system reached such high levels across all cores, it would have likely crashed and restarted.

It's a bug in HWINfO64 where my 5600X sometimes displays 9000MHz, but it shouldn't matter—just wait for the next stable update of hw info64. You have HW Monitor, not HW Info 64, yet both are behaving the same! Another point: showing 250 amps is quite high; perhaps the sensors on the MB are malfunctioning, and the Ryzen 2600 can't handle that much current.
If you notice unusual behavior, disregard it. This issue arises from measuring clock speed at a very low sampling rate.
