i7 7700k CPU Throttling
I've adjusted my CPU to 4.5 ghz. Would this lead to throttling on the motherboard I own? Also, does the CPU reach 4.5ghz when it's working hard, but drop back to 800 MHz when not under heavy load, while it stays at 4.2 GHz during idle times?
Here are my details:
Operating System
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i7 7700K @ 4.2 GHz 38 °C

Motherboard
ASRock Z270 SLI Xtreme (CPUSocket) 32 °C

Checking temperatures while under stress, I think it's overheating and reducing performance. Which cooler would work best?
Monitor temperatures while under load, I think it's overheating and throttling. Any cooler suggestions? A Corsair H60 would work.
Here are my current temps:
Core 0: 46C (116F), 43C (109F), 74C (165F)
Core 1: 47C (116F), 44C (111F), 77C (170F)
Core 2: 50C (122F), 46C (114F), 78C (174F)
Core 3: 47C (116F), 44C (111F), 79C (174F)
Package 50C (122F), 47C (116F), 79C (174F)
It seems like you're likely dealing with a problem. A $50 air cooler would be a significant improvement over the current setup. Make sure to perform a CPU stress test and verify temperatures for confirmation.
The CPU will reduce performance if it overheats... running synthetic tests isn't very helpful since these demands are much higher than what most programs can handle. If you manage to execute RoG Real Bench, an actual benchmark app, you'll have confidence that no game or program will cause throttling. Monitor temperatures and core voltages with HWiNFO.

It seems you're looking for advice on preventing CPU throttling. You mentioned considering a $50 air cooler as a potential improvement, but also suggested running a CPU stress test to verify temperatures. What's the ideal method to address this issue?
Uncertain if the idle temperatures were misleading. Let's perform a stress test and check the maximum temperatures.
Edit: Oops, I misread that earlier. Was it throttling during that period? I need to review the temperatures after it stops throttling.
Second question about the throttling reason.
Supahos :
I thought the idle temps didn't matter, but I should run a stress test to check the actual max temps.
Edit: Oops, I misread that earlier. Was it throttling during that period? I need to see the temperatures after it stops throttling.
Second question – why do you think it's throttling?
Those weren't idle temps; I was playing Doom 2016 with HWMonitor open.
Maybe because my motherboard isn't extreme overclocking certified, it's only Pro OC Certified. Here might be useful info.
These are the details for my motherboard.

Does the response feel abrupt or is there a possibility of network limitations?
