Performance drops significantly once the base clock is reached.

You're seeing lower speeds than expected because of CPU throttling or power management settings. Also, the "200" error likely relates to a missing file or permission issue when trying to save a screenshot. Check your system settings and ensure the application has access to the image file.
It actually reduces performance by lowering core clock rates in order to conserve energy.
You're right, the i5-4690K should have maintained its base clock speed. It's likely the processor wasn't designed for high performance, which explains why it wouldn't have dropped.
it handled well with most configurations, staying consistently overclocked. it never fell below 4.4GHz even when running at base speed, though it would power down to save energy. on a standard desktop setup with the core duo t7600, i5 540, i5 2410, and i5 8350u, it performed reliably.
Interesting. I’ll keep an eye on it. By the way, do you have any solid RAM overclocking guides for someone just starting out?
All processors perform this action unless you turn it off. When you manually increase the multiplier or base clock and keep other settings automatic, most motherboards will stabilize at the top multicore frequency. I usually reverse this approach and turn on power-saving options, even during overclocking, to reduce energy use and control the PC's temperature. Saving energy is essential.
