Hello everyone, I'm working on fixing my i5 7600K with a Corsair Hydro H100i v2. I'm using a Gigabyte Z270 gaming K3 board. I managed to push my processor to 4.8 ghz, but it only stays at that speed for a few seconds before dropping back to 4.2 ghz (turbo). After restarting and going into BIOS again, it still shows 4.8ghz. I turned off all C-states in EIST, updated the BIOS, and cleared the CMOS. Anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?
