Overclocking the i5 4690k to 4.2ghz resulted in a temporary jump to 5ghz during tasks.

Strange. I turned off turbo boost yet the task manager still claims it boosts up to 5ghz, though it only reaches 43 degrees. The page says a max speed of 4.2 is correct. Could the task manager be inaccurate? Should I disable dynamic mode in BIOS?

Interesting. I disabled turbo boost but the task manager still claims it reaches up to 5ghz at 43 degrees. The page says a max speed of 4.2. Might the task manager be inaccurate? Should I switch off dynamic mode in bios? Yes, you could give that a go—it boosts one core when idle, similar to turbo.
I was pleased with that score. I will increase the difficulty and attempt another 50.

I was pleased with that pass mark. I plan to increase the intensity and attempt another 50. I wouldn't let it exceed 80°C or 85°C tops, just like I mentioned earlier—nothing you do in the future will make it that hot again. IBT tends to push things to the limit.
I just completed the intel burn test for 50 passes at very high temperature. It passed with an average of 76 degrees, occasionally reaching 77 briefly. Should I continue using extreme mode or proceed with other tests?
I just completed the intel burn test for 50 passes at very high settings. It passed with an average of 76 degrees, occasionally reaching 77 briefly. Should I proceed with extreme mode or stick to other tests? If you're satisfied with the current overclock, continue with the remaining tests—maximum settings are essentially just more memory. What speed has your CPU reached so far?
I turned off turbo boost and changed to static for the benchmarks. It seems leaving dynamic on during some tests could cause it to boost excessively, even surpassing your stable clock and potentially damaging the system. Also, I kept it static when it was set to 4.2 GHz since dynamic was active. Now it consistently stays at 4.2 GHz.
At 33-35 degrees, things are progressing nicely. Honestly, should we keep pushing or stop now?
