Recently, HWMonitor has been showing extremely high boost clocks while gaming on my Ryzen 7 2700. The peak I've recorded so far is 5.51GHz. My CPU is set to 4.0Ghz at 1.35V, and I'm using the standard Prism cooler with an Asrock x370 Killer SLI/ac motherboard and a 16GB GSkill Trident Z 3200mhz RAM paired with an EVGA 600W power supply. Is this an error in reporting, or could something have gone wrong? Should I switch to an AIO to test further overclocking potential? I struggled to keep it stable at 4.1GHz without increasing the voltage, so I kept it at 4.0GHz but think a better cooler might let me push the voltage higher. I'm also concerned about long-term effects on the chips. How much voltage are these processors designed to handle?

Use HWiNFO64 or Ryzen Master for accurate monitoring, as HWMonitor is often unreliable, particularly with Ryzen processors.

I wasn't aware of that. I'll run tests with both options.

Testing with Ryzen Master and HWiNFO64 confirmed the issue was a reporting error. It was a bit disheartening, but nothing important was lost, so everything is okay.
