CPU stuck in overclock?
CPU stuck in overclock?
I'm using CoreTemps and checking the Task Manager, but I'm not sure what Max Turbo Frequency means. After adjusting the CPU to 100 x 42, everything works fine and temperatures are below 70 degrees. Thanks!
Processor Base Frequency explains how fast the processor's transistors switch on and off, which is the point where TDP is measured.
Max Turbo Frequency refers to the highest single-core speed the processor can reach with Intel Turbo Boost.
TDP stands for Thermal Design Power, showing the average power usage in watts when all cores run under a demanding workload. The i7-8700K has a TDP of 95 Watts.

Anyway, I resolved it by increasing the CPU's overclock to 100 x 42, and now everything runs smoothly with temperatures below 70 degrees.
Thanks!
Processor Base Frequency
This value indicates how fast the processor's transistors switch on and off. It sets the operating point for TDP.
Max Turbo Frequency
This is the highest single-core speed Intel allows using Turbo Boost Technology.

You haven't adjusted it. You shouldn't be experiencing overheating with the default settings and turbo clocks.
Fair, but what should you do next?
Do you have a configuration named multi-core enhancement? If yes, reset all settings back to the standard state and disable it to maintain lower temperatures. MCE provides full-core boost and significantly raises temperatures.
