Why does my Ryzen 7 2700x overclock itself to 4.2 mhz?

[superboiboi]

I overclocked my G.Skill Fare X 3200mhz but i never did any thing to my CPU setting on bio (most of them are on auto setting by default). but under CPU-Z, it constantly hit 4.1 - 4.2 mhz and i am on my stock cooler......for normal online suffering i get 48 - 58 temp

I am confused...whats going on? can someone enlighten me please

Try something like Hwinfo and you'll see the OC moves across all the cores, it's just the built in Boost system doing its stuff, nothing to worry about.

Thats the built in Turbo and XFR2 features. Your temps are fine and the system is supposed to overclock itself when needed.
