Hi!
When using OC to 5Ghz and 1.290 volts or 1.350 volts, it maintains 4Ghz and doesn’t exceed it. Running stock with an OCCT test shows it stays below 3.6Ghz. Could it be the motherboard that’s not compatible with the CPU for OC? I’ve removed the battery but haven’t adjusted anything else.
When at 5Ghz, the BIOS reports it’s OC’d to 5Ghz. Stock turbo is set at 4.9Ghz. I have the latest BIOS version. The CPU I replaced was an i3 8350K, which worked stably at 4.9Ghz and 1.305V.

Bus speed is running underclocked. Current is 80Mhz, original was 100Mhz. At 5Ghz it drops to 4Ghz, at 4.8Ghz it reaches 3.8Ghz. Windows 10 Home seemed to mislead me.
