Your i5 9600k appears to be running at speeds above the default 3.7GHz, possibly overclocked. Since you installed it without any modifications, it likely came pre-configured for a standard performance level. If you want to revert to the default speed, you can adjust the BIOS settings or use software tools to lower the CPU frequency. Be cautious with overclocking, as it can affect stability and longevity—consider consulting a technician if you're unsure.

The CPU runs Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, boosting performance temporarily when under stress for a brief moment before slowing slightly based on cooling conditions. This behavior is normal and beneficial for quick tasks such as opening a new tab.

Really naive to purchase a K CPU without adjusting it, unless you're okay with undervolting. At least try to overclock if you don't plan to overclock later.

You might want to adjust the settings. Undervolting could offer some advantages. Thanks!

Undervolting can lower temperatures and improve power efficiency, while overclocking offers higher performance. It appears these CPUs typically run between 4.8-4.9GHz all-core with a 1.3V voltage. If you're satisfied with the current speed, simply undervolt it or keep it as is to maximize resale value once you sell your machine, since it's a K CPU.
