I just bought a new build with a 8600k and just web browsing the clockspeed is bouncing between 802 and 4000 MHz. I’ve never built a computer before or know a whole lot so this may be a dumb question but I’m just making sure I didn’t mess it up
Yes that's normal. When using the balanced windows power profile and speedstep is enabled, then the CPU will lower it's clocks automatically when under a certain amount of load in order to save power and produce less heat. When under enough load clocks should go to your turbo boost speed and stay there.
