Hi. I have Intel i7-8700k. Every setting in BIOS is by default, just as the settings the motherboard(mobo) came with. Are these numbers ok when on idle? I have noticed that it constantly hits 4444mhz exactly(not more,barely less) while just installing a game. I'm using A-Tuning which is software by Asrock and supplied with the mobo. It measures everything just like Aida64, so I can trust this software. CPU-Z was showing lower numbers, but from the posts I've read, CPU-z is not to be trusted. Also have this BCLK Frequency 101 or 100mhz, which I know is used to oc non-k, non-oc cpus. Should I check in BIOS and disable it if it's enabled? I think it is on Auto, which in most cases means it's enabled. Also I'm "affraid" of touching anything for now in BIOS, because Im new to it. I have the latest firmware 1.20 for this mobo. So is my cpu running by default(normal settings-3.7ghz up to 4.3ghz on all cores when in turbo boost), or is my mobo Bios sort of overclocking it by default and have to disable something-beacuse 4444 is more than the stated 4.3 and I assume i have a little OC, probably the BCLK +101mhz. My idea is to have every setting running normal for the moment I learn how to overclock my cpu and RAM by myself, because I've understood that overclocking with the supplied with BIOS automated methods is not welcomed - like xmp, ot multi core enhancement. Please,don't tell me I shoud have bought non-k CPU if not overclocking-I will, but not for now. I have attached a link to the picture. Just click ot the http, I don't know why it's showing only this part from the whole link. Thanks!
