Hey there, i've just recently upgraded my computers core components (today, actually), and for the CPU i got an AMD FX-6300 Black edition (unlocked). I had planned on OCing once i get around to getting a better cooling fan, or liquid cooling, but not anytime soon.
Issue is, as soon as i got everything installed and such, i downloaded CoreTemp, and it's showing my CPU jumping up to a frequency of 4.2GHz, when stock speed is supposed to be 3.5, and causes my CPU fan to go insane since the temps rise a good deal, as well. Is there a possibility that my CPU automatically overclocked itself, or maybe the motherboard drivers did? If so, how do i just set it to stay at stock speeds?
My systems specs are:
AMD FX-6300 Black
MSI 980A Krait edition mobo
Radeon R7 260X
8gb Kingston HyperX Fury 1600 MHz memory
550w CoolerMaster PSU (not exactly sure on the specifics, but easily checked)
