Bought it 6 months ago, new. Is this normal? I haven't OC anything.

It's a NEW 14600k intel i5. And a MSI PRO Z790-S WIFI.

    When i just restarted the PC it was actually running at 5.4 for a short while in Task manager.

    Bros complaining about more speed, it’s probably not capped at 5.3ghz you might’ve just gotten a good bin or have a good cooler which let’s it boost higher

    Maybe there’s a chance your mother board is over clocking it by default? You would have to check in your bios settings.

  4. I would bet money on it being your motherboard settings, for example, Asus has the option between Asus OC profile or Intel performance etc. MSI would have something similiar, you may of even accidently hit something in the bios to enable AI overclocking or something.
