HWinfo has my CPU clocked at 4300Mhz [when the base is 3200 and the max is 4600 ]and at an average temperature of 99C out of a max of 100C even with thermal throttling automatically toggled. These readings were taken seconds after signing in to windows and have stayed around these levels for about an hour. This is also the first time I turned on my PC today. This is an issue that's been happening for the last few weeks or so.
All of this is happening while my computer is sitting idle on the desktop screen, with task manager listing CPU usage at 7%. As far as I know, overclocking is disabled.
Any idea what's causing this?
Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700
Cooler: Stock Intel Cooler
GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 Ti
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 C16 4x8GB
PSU: EVGA 600 B1, 80+ BRONZE 600W
Motherboard: MSI Z390-A PRO LGA1151
