What steps are needed to turn off overclocking in ASUS BIOS?
Hello, for your ASUS P8Z68 v - pro gen III motherboard, to disable overclocking you should set the BIOS settings accordingly. I can provide you with a screenshot of all relevant configurations if needed. Regarding your CPU issue, your Intel Core i-7 is running at 3500 MHz but reaching 3900 MHz with a temperature of 98°C (220°C). Please let me know if you need further assistance.
If the processor we're discussing is an i7-2700k, then its base clock is 3500mhz and the turbo clock is 3900mhz. That doesn't seem to be overclocking. The CPU is built to function this way—it raises its speed up to turbo when thermal and power constraints permit. It's probably due to a cooler that isn't sufficient or possibly a faulty cooler. Upgrade to a better one, such as the CM Hyper 212 or Deepcool Gammaxx 400, which are suitable for this chip.
The simplest option is to reset the system to factory settings, though it's currently overheating at a 400MHz overclock—something quite unusual. Have you recently changed your thermal paste? Reapplying it could potentially reduce the temperatures.
Initially F5 then exit using F10. Now the splash screen doesn't show overclock, and AI-Suite also reports 0 percent. However, at the bottom the CPU speed fluctuates around 4700, even though it should be 3600. I think the Intel CPU is managing the clock speed automatically and this isn't seen as overclocking.

It's probably due to a poor CPU cooler or a faulty cooler.
