Reporting increased CPU speed but no OC applied.
My system is equipped with an Intel i5-6600k processor, an MSI Z170A Krait Gaming motherboard, and 16GB of 2400MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM. After assembling everything, I powered on the computer and entered the BIOS setup. Everything appeared normal, with the CPU running at 3.5GHz and the RAM at 2133MHz. Around three days later, I used CPUz to check the system's current state, which showed a CPU frequency of ~4.0GHz. This result was unexpected since I hadn't altered any BIOS settings. I also ran HWmonitor for a second opinion, which confirmed the same frequency reading. Upon re-entering the BIOS, I noticed the CPU frequency had shifted from 3.5GHz to 4.0GHz. The RAM frequency remained at 2400MHz. I’m still trying to understand what’s happening.
Also, during the period between seeing the BIOS setup and verifying the results from CPUz and HWmonitor, my computer experienced two random blue screens. What could be causing this?
There was an impact with the auto oc. It seems the sounds came from it.
I believe the turboboost would raise it to 3.9 GHz.
The highest single core frequency the processor can handle with Intel Turbo Boost is its maximum turbo frequency.

It’s possible you already have an overclocking driver installed.
Something struck the auto oc. It seems the system detected signals from it. Under the OC settings in the UEFI interface, an option named "Game Boost" was enabled. I turned it off, and the CPU/ram parameters (like frequency, ratio, voltage) returned to their normal values. Thanks for your assistance.
