Hi everyone. I'm checking if everything is fine for a continuous overclock. I ran a stress test with RealTemp and Prime95, and this is my first attempt at overclocking. It's not a huge jump, but I'm holding back. 😊
Any suggestions would be really helpful, thanks.

Your task manager indicates the CPU frequency during stress testing, and the screenshots appear to reflect clocked values.

Which frequency were you using? What adjustments did you make?

I just noticed that when my CPU usage drops, my clock speed also decreases. What could explain that?

Run prime95 and capture another screenshot. Please specify the frequency you used and the settings you modified. After adjusting, I turned off boost and incremented the multiplier one at a time. The base clock was set to 100.

When the CPU isn't in use, it can reduce its speed to conserve energy.

The device appears to be functioning properly at the moment. If the CPU isn't active, it can reduce its clock speed to conserve energy. Thank you for your question. One more point; in the first screenshot, I only noticed my CPU was at 2000MHz. Now it's back to 4200MHz. Is this the same reason?
