Hey guys, Merry Christmas first of all.
I just upgraded to an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with a new motherboard, an ASUS ROG Strix B450-F, and something strange is occurring. I booted up without changing anything in BIOS except some boot options, and when I check the speed my CPU is running at, it's constantly at 4.0 GHz even in idle. My CPU has a base clock speed of 3.6, so it's already running faster than normal. The temps are also pretty damn high at 65 ish idle and it goes up to 80 in load.
I went into BIOS to investigate, as I have never tried overclocking in all the years I've been doing PC related stuff, and I found myself in a branch of settings called AI tweaker. There's a bunch of settings here, but there was one called an enhanced boost, which according to the description overclocks both memory and CPU. I turned it from AUTO to DISABLED and rebooted and the issue is still there. If somebody could please help me figure it out.
Edit: to add to all of this, after inspecting HWINFO64, my clock speed seems to be fluctuating heavily. It goes from a 2.9 to a 4.1 back down to a 3.2 in a second. I can also hear one of my fans going up and down in speed because of this.
