Hello everyone,
I've decided to overclock my CPU. I'm currently browsing occasionally. I haven't made any changes and while loading the BIOS, I noticed some unusual numbers. Everything is at stock settings, the CPU frequency multiplier is 32, but my Vcore reads 1.320 while the CPU status shows 4.3 frequency. During an AIDA64 test, I observed a frequency of 4.3 at 1.306v with a Vcore of 1.320 and normal temperatures after 5 minutes. What should I do? Should I leave it as is or try to overclock further?
My system details:
CPU: i5 4670K
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87X-OC

It's already at maximum speed. 3.8Ghz is the usual limit.

Yeah but how is it already overclocked? I just formatted my Windows and upgraded to Windows 10. I didn't do it myself because I kept getting BSOD without any reason, but nobody else did it as I know. And now on auto (default) BIOS settings and everything I get these numbers. Confused.

Uncertain about it. Any attempts to overclock would be stored in the BIOS, meaning previous software before your format might have handled the overclocking.
