About a week ago my computer began reaching 4700mhz and it kept spiking. After checking the BIOS, I noticed the CPU was being overclocked to hit around 5 ghz. I reset everything back to defaults but the motherboard continued overclocking the CPU, now setting it as default. I manually restarted using the two-pin method with the metal object, but it didn’t fix the issue. I contacted Asus, who suggested it might be a motherboard or CPU problem. I still have warranty coverage for both parts—should I replace them or try another solution?

Turn off the ASUS Multicore Enhancement feature.

It's similar to applying a band aid—it's just a temporary solution, not a permanent fix. I aim for a lasting repair, so once I adjust the multi enhancement and reset everything, it should return to overclocking.

Are you using the most recent BIOS version? Has ASUS advised you to update? If not, that's quite concerning from their part.

What core frequency is the CPU aiming for? Is it attempting to reach 5GHz across all cores? If yes, then turn off MCE. MCE isn't a quick fix; it's an optional overclocking tool from the motherboard manufacturer. It doesn't originate from Intel.

I’ll attempt that, bringing back my mobo and cpu and acquiring new ones tomorrow to check if it resolves the issue.

When using the same CPU and motherboard, the same outcome will occur. Even with a different motherboard, this effect might still happen. I'm not sure if this is considered a bug or flaw. Intel's design allows a 9900K to automatically increase to 5 GHz on a couple of cores when turbo boost is active. If your motherboard supports MCE, it will raise the speed to 5 GHz across all cores. Just disable MCE in BIOS settings.

By default it's running at overclock, too. The CPU seemed to be having issues since it was at stock speed but showing spikes after I ran a Band Aid program.

I've noticed several individuals mentioning their motherboards come with MCE enabled by default, which doesn't seem too concerning.
