As the title suggests, my CPU has overclocked itself or something of the sort. It stays at max boost clock (3.5 GHz) when idle and goes up to 3.7 GHz under load. The OC itself is fine but I wish it wouldn't constantly stay at 3.5 and get idle temps of 50 degrees celsius. It might just be an HWMonitor thing though because it's been reading my GPU clocks wrong also. If not, then how do I get it to go back to default clocks when idling/light load?
