Hi guys as Dune is currently terrible to play on my old system I thought I would go over to overclocking the old lady. I upped my ryzen 5 3600x from 3,8ghz stock to 4,2ghz oc at 1.385 v. I was able to stabilize it so I went over to oc my rtx 2070 super aswell. Reaching 1.867(was 1.8) ghz base clock and 14484 mem clock (was 14).
After this was running well I also stepped up my ram from 2133 to 3000 base clock.
Everything was running fine and I didnt hit the bad windows smiley after cinebenching.
After that I thought lets test this slowly by playing cs2 in training mode. After a full round I took a look at hwmonitor and saw the stats above.
Can anyone explain to me if it is a bug in hw or something? I apparently reached 107 degrees at 9ghz cpu clock at one point while gaming.
Forgive me but Im an old IT guy and not used to see something like this.
tbh I thought if I fiddle around with cpu oc and stabilize it it maybe goes up to 4.4 ghz under high load or something like that but 9ghz seems kinda off to me.

HW Monitor reporting fake 5 GHz+ speeds is a common issue, try HW iNFO64
HW monitor is absolute garbage. That’s your problem.
On 3000, anything over 1.325v and you’ll be facing degradation eventually.
Sorry to disappoint, it’s just HW Monitor being garbage, you did not break the OC WR
