I attempted to overclock my PC, which caused significant slowdowns. After rebooting, the CPU was running at 4300 MHZ while the target speed was 4100 MHZ. I restored all original settings, but it remains at 4300 and the MHz reading is still red. The CPU isn’t hot, yet the issue persists. Is this a concern?

read the manual. some have a buttong, some you need to short pins. a screwdriver can be used to short - just make sure you touch those pins and those pins only
