I updated my i5 7600k to 4.5GHz (base clock 100 x 45) but occasionally it drops to around 1.6GHz even when turbo boost is disabled. Is there a way to ensure it consistently runs at 4.5GHz like I intended? Thank you.

Each CPU is unique and needs adjustments to achieve optimal voltage settings. Turn off speedstep(eist) and other power-saving features if you wish for the CPU to operate at maximum clock speed continuously. Keep in mind this will raise idle temperatures and power usage.

You'd need to disable power-saving features in the BIOS. It's also possible to choose maximum performance over balanced settings in Windows. If the system is loaded heavily, will the clocks rise more?

Your CPU will automatically operate at full capacity during demanding tasks like gaming, but it will reduce speed when idle such as on a desktop, as it is not required then.

You would need to disable power savings in the BIOS. You might also be able to choose maximum performance instead of balanced in Windows. If the system runs heavily, will the clocks keep increasing? Yes, they do get higher, but I’d prefer stability. I use an i5 7600k and would you recommend a Vcore at 4.5 or 4.6 GHz?

You have the option to disable Intel SpeedStep and AMD Cool'N'Quiet in the BIOS to prevent it from slowing down. However, I don't understand the reason behind this.
