I have an aus p8z68 deluxe gen 3 motherboard with an i5 2500k.
My motherboard automatically controls the frequency of my processor, but never brings it above 3.7 ghz, which I am fine with, I can bring it above that easily if I want to, manually.
Well, supposedly it doesn't bring it above 3.7. I use core temp, and usually it says 3.7ghz is the frequency, but a few times now I've opened it up to check my load temps and saw the frequency listed as 7 ghz, even 8!!!
Does core temp glitch like this sometimes?
Is that even... possible at all? Woudln't my system combust or my processor just fry? My temps don't really exceed 49C either while playing mass effect 2, so I doubt it... but still I am paranoid...
