Hello Everyone, After my previous update I successfully bought the appropriate motherboard for my new Intel i5 9600K, choosing a ROG B390-H Strix Gaming. My CPU runs at a standard speed of 3.7Ghz, but when I power on the system even with light tasks like Chrome and iCue it appears to run at around 4.4Ghz on average. (Please check the photos below) I understand K processors can be overclocked, but I haven’t done that and am concerned about potential damage. After installing an SSD and setting up NZXT CAM for temperature monitoring, I’m seeking advice—does this behavior indicate a problem or is it typical for this chipset? If so, what steps should I take to resolve it? Best regards, Millsy

The CPU will handle it, it can increase to 4.6Ghz on its own.

It increases its performance to this level without any stress because it needs to maintain reliability, not just for convenience.

Because it can. The base clock is more like what Intel can absolutely guarantee without any unreasonably bad cooling. And it still isn't boosting to its highest boost clock so there really isn't anything to worry about.
