Ryzen 7 3700x i had the typical fan reving issue so i noticed adding a OC snuffed this issue, i got tired of setting it up in Gigabyts easy tune so i added it in bios to 40.25 now whenever i start the pc its running perfect no reving. So in Task Mngr it says my cpu speed is 3.58 on my base speed it says 4.02 but the 3.58 are the only #s fluctuating like its still running at that speed?? i have heard not to rely on T/M to much but Core temp says the same thing (although i was toggling between 2 apps the other day and it would refresh to my OC then back to my stock, like i had an option to choose what to run at) also afterburner says the same on my OSD 3600mhz in game. Iam not to much into OCing my stuff i think its cool and once i got a back up machine i will play around with some heavier settings but the reving was driving me nuts. my understanding (fairly new to this stuff) is my cpu runs at 3.6 and can have bursts upto 4.4 in time of need and if you add an OC mine for instance 40.025 my pc would now be running constantly at the 40.025 setting, correct? Also everything runs cooler with the OC, than on stock settings ...gaming or not my cpu temps are always high running without the OC nothing crazy just probably normal temps but with the OC iam always like 10 deg lower. So iam just looking for some thoughts on this iam fine with how its running right now but just wanna educate myself about this, as long as the dang fans arent having an asthma attack every split second. Heres what iam working with, i play at 4k Ultra/High
