Hello everyone, i have a strange one for you today. So recently i was talking to my friend and we were talking abouyt our pcs etc and i went into task manager and it told me i was running at 4.3 ghz. I can tell you now i have never overclocked my cpu, and ngl i dont rlly know how to. I installed some other CPU software to make sure it wasnt false readings and CPU-Z also told me it was running at 4.3 ghz. has anyone else had this happen to them. Also i am running with the stock cpu fan so idk if this is false readings or whether it is actually running at 4.3 ghz. if so should i turn the cpu speed down or leave it. And finally could it mean i have just gotten a good rlly gd silicon chip or sommet im just rlly confused ngl. I have added some images to show you and the speeds on the images fluxuate between 4.0-4.3 ghz. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help
There exist Base Clock and Boost Clock options. Typically, CPUs can increase their speed to higher frequencies on one or a few cores for specific tasks. Windows 10 isn't always accurate; it previously claimed my i5 3570K ran at over 5GHz, but it actually wasn't. According to AMD.com, the Boost Clock is 4.3 GHz.
