my cpu came running at 4.4ghZ?

[Guest]

Im running a I7 6700k and when I tried to overclock it it would let me change the CPU ratio. Then Now it says that the CPU ratio is 4.4 and its running a 4.4GHz even though I havent overclocked it in any way?

Can I overclock it more? Why has this happened?

Does your motherboard have an auto overclock feature? Usually they don't do this by themselves but it sounds to me like your motherboard did the overclocking if your sure you didn't change anything. What is cpu voltage? And cpu temp under load? 4.4ghz is about top of the mark for most 6700k's unless you got lucky with a silicon lottery winner.

Each CPU comes with Turbo Boost, which increases the frequency of the CPU. It is curious that it was at 4.4ghz, instead of the usual 4.2ghz. I would refer to the previous poster, as the mobo may be set to auto overclock.
