Hello.
I recently ran into some instability issues with my overclock and system in general.
I wanted to start from scratch, so I decided to update my BIOS before, since there was 4 newer versions for my board.
I succesfully updated BIOS, and wanted to run some Cinebench R15 tests with only XMP enabled, to see if everything was fine.
I noticed the first couple of runs, was just fine - running at 4.6GHz on all cores as it should. But after 2-3 runs, I suddenly noticed my core clock throttling down to 4.2/4.3GHz.
I noticed in HWinfo that it says "Power Limit Exceeded" for all 8 cores was "Yes".

I know that I can probably change Long and Short duration power limits in the bios. But my CPU is supposed to run 4.6GHz on all cores as default - i.e. Turbo Boost right?
My system is running only with XMP enabled - everything else is default/stock on a completely fresh BIOS.
How come this is happening ?
(My system specs is in the buttom)
Best regards
