Hello, I'm trying to overclock but encountered issues. I checked all settings online and found it drops to 4.5 GHz when loaded. Turbo boost stays at 4.6 GHz even with adjustments. I manually set it to 4.6 and tested again, but it still returns to 4.5 GHz above the motherboard specifications. No heating problems observed with different voltages. 🤷‍♂️

What are the turbo power limits configured? Check HWiNFO for details, including the cause of any throttling.

I resolved the issue by adjusting the setting in the picture to 250, which caused the processor to consume 149 watts and the problem to vanish.
