I set up Windows 11 on my computer and everything works perfectly, including games. The reported core clock seems off though. I attached a photo for reference. My i9-10850 OC'd to 5GHz all cores, but Task Manager shows a base speed of 5GHz with peaks reaching up to 6.89GHz—great, right? But the processor isn’t actually hitting those numbers. Anyone else notice this discrepancy?

The task manager should not be relied upon for precise hardware readings. It is usually inaccurate.

I understand that point, though I don't usually rely on it as a rule. It's just something I noticed once. Except for that, winning 11 has been good for me, at least so far. Who knows what the future holds?

On the first day, their report showed the R5 3500U running at 100mHz regardless of changes. After the fix, it corrected to normal performance.

My 10900KF readings came back surprising, especially since I was expecting more detail. I'm running Windows 11 now, but I'm not sure if most monitoring apps are still compatible... I'll have to wait for an update before trusting the data. Also, HWInfo64 seems to miss showing CPU speeds above 950MHz.

My task manager also fails to display accurate clock speeds, regardless of whether it's stock or overclocked. Whether using W10 or W11, the reported speeds are consistently incorrect. For instance, Cinebench shows a steady 4.65GHz across all cores with PBO enabled, but the task manager only lists around 4.1GHz.

Your 5600x runs smoothly at 4.75GHz PBO, but Windows sometimes shows a higher speed of 5.8GHz during intense CPU activity.
