I'm looking for some advice here. I built my first computer in the early 2000s and have assembled many PCs and servers without any problems like this one. I understand it would be hard to convince someone unless I had a video. I managed to get my non-O/AMD 5600G running at high speeds on air, but I'm puzzled about why it works and how long it's been doing that. I used to play games on my 3700X and decided to try the 5600G for my home lab—it generally runs fine, though I noticed it would lock very hard sometimes and needed a manual restart. I installed HWMonitor and saw my CPU reaching impressive speeds. I'm unsure what to do next and would appreciate any guidance or clarification. I've attached four screenshots (from playing BF5) and a YouTube clip showing these extreme numbers. Bill S.

Consider another solution. My preferred option is hwinfo.

HWMonitor often gives incorrect clock speed readings, particularly for Ryzen processors. For accurate information, consult HWInfo or Ryzen Master.

I've just set up HWInfo and will do another test! Thanks, Bill S.

Update your chipset drivers now, it won’t cause any issues.

21,332 MHz isn't a golden sample—it's a plutonium sample. Put the Pc in a box before you destroy us all! Or just grab hwinfo.

HWInfo appears accurate, but Ryzen may struggle with HWMonitor due to compatibility or driver issues.
