i experience several freezings roughly every hour. i increased the overclock to 4.7, but due to the freezings i switched it back to intel stock in bios, yet the clock speed remains at 4.7 ghz. the stock speed of the 9900k is 3.7! this seems unusual. i also used xmp1 and disabled stock clocks.

4.7 represents the typical boost frequency. The base clock isn't really significant for Intel processors.

How can I lower the speed? Your freezing shows an unstable chip, and your voltage is at 1.25V—should I increase it?

Keep the voltage set to auto, then let the CPU handle its own clock requirements.

You're asking about dealing with a cold or fever. What can I help you with?

They function properly when left alone. The issue occurs when you interfere, but restoring it to automatic mode will resolve the problem.

I sent it back to auto but it kept freezing! I keep seeing these issues in Prime.

No, I didn't clear the CMOS.

You remember me, right? Just a quick note! Here’s the short version: I have a clear CMOS button.

Could the issue stem from outdated bios too? I haven’t checked them in a year! Updated just 2 minutes ago.
