[SOLVED] How to disable CPU overclock ?

[haydenr34]

So somehow my CPU has overclocked itself and seems to run between 4-5ghz, when I never did this myself. I've been having some PC freezes lately and have eliminated essentially everything else as a culprit.

How can I turn it back down?

Looks normal, why do you think it’s overclocked?

If you are having issues with the pc freezing then start a thread about that including the full pc spec.

I have a thread about it already.

Question - System won’t turn on ?

My PC had been crashing over the last few weeks, completely freezing and I’d have to turn it off by the power button. I tested my RAM sticks, they are fine. I ran an sfc scannow in command prompt and it found a corrupt file and fixed it. I did a check disk scan on all 3 of my SSD’s and no issues...

Is it normal? I don't know, I thought the speed was meant to be 3.70ghz.

That cpu has a turbo up to 5.3GHz. It’s unlikely you will ever see 5.3 but depending on many factors such as heat, power, Windows settings and work load the cpu will boost and 4.9-5.0 is about right.

Ah okay, thank you for that information.

It's not the clock, it's the turbo boost


I have an i7 11700K with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and it reaches 5.0 GHz. It's perfectly normal



You can check your CPU specifications at the link below:

Edit: If you want to get a lower frequency, you have to go to Control Panel> Power Options and select power saver
