I've been attempting to push my i7 6800K further, but in BIOS it shows an overclocked speed of 4GHz while Task Manager reports a maximum of 3.6GHz during stress tests like Prime95. The VCCIN is set to 1.775 and the CPU core count is 1.2.

Other programs such as hwinfo display detailed system information, while task manager may not accurately report CPU speeds.

Intel turned off the ability to boost performance on Broadwell-E because of security concerns. This might explain the problem you're experiencing.

Looking for alternatives nearby or questioning if you're missing an opportunity. Weighing the benefits of a new motherboard and CPU against your current setup.

It comes down to what you require. If your current CPU isn’t enough for your tasks and you’re looking for better performance, Intel or AMD both offer options with eight or more cores. For those aiming to overclock, you may find success by using a specific BIOS tailored to your motherboard—worth researching.

Using InSpectre can turn off the Spectre and Meltdown fixes; these microcode tweaks might work, but they’re just theoretical at the moment. I usually turn them off on my Intel hardware.

Are you looking for a motherboard for an MSI computer?

I finally understood what was happening. I went into one of the update settings, adjusted the permissions, and gave them control. Then I was able to overclock it.
