Hey guys, I have a i7700k with a z270x, I tried overclocking using XTU and which I uninstalled after putting in a stupid amount, I also downloaded Quick CPU if that matters at all. The next day everything was fine and working so I assumed my PC was fine. The next day it had troubles booting up (1/21) and after several boots/crashes, it just works for the rest of the day. I assumed it was a problem with my Samsung 960 EVO which I downloaded multiple software to check and all of them said it was good. I checked the taskbar and my CPU was at 4.5 GHz but then I went into bios and it was 4.2 GHz which confuses me, I don't know if that's the problem so then I downloaded XTU again to change my speed back to 4.2 GHz. I don't want to do this every boot so I'm coming here to ask some questions,
Is it normal for it to go up to 4.5 GHz?
Also can using high performance for power options cause negative effects? PC is around 3-4 years old.
I know I shouldn't be messing without experience and I've learned my lesson.
If it's not a CPU problem would anyone mind showing me how to check my GPU and power supply for a failure, thank you. Feel free to request any information.
