PLEASE NOTE: I HAVEN'T touched voltages or anything else just clock speed both ram and CPU ofcourse

CLICK THE PICTURE==> http://i.imgur.com/nnFNumZ.png

Can you please explain this to me and why i get it??

Also i heard something about turbo boost or something automatically lowering and increasing the CPU frequency (What is it?)

How do i get it to 4,3Ghz instead of 5,25Ghz shown there??

And also i have a ram that's 2400Mhz and i can only get it to 2200Mhz before i overclocked the CPU will now be able to run okay that the CPU is at a higher clock rate?

Also when i changed my CPU from 3,5Ghz to 4,3Ghz i haven't noticed any difference in heating why is that

Only voltages can make the cpu heat?

going from 4.3 to 4.5 is going to take more voltage. If you're stable at 4.3 which is a significant jump from the stock 3.5 it's just going to take more voltage which will casue more heat. The only way to learn is to read and practice that's it hands on experience is the best way. If your ram is supposed to be at 2400mhz look for something that says xmp. Xtreme memory profile. IDK about your older set up but these new boards like mine I just turned it on and it automatically bumped my memory to 3.2ghz. You're playing games not video editing. You're trying to do too much too fast. Just relax and be happy you're stable at 4.3 all this stress you're causing yourself is only going to multiply if you go from a stable 4.3 oc to an...

If you are overclocking it is normally advised to disable CPU boost... That is probably why it showing the different speeds in task manager.
Also, if your motherboard can only run 2200mhz RAM it will downclock your RAM to match it.
What type of motherboard and RAM do you have?

I think i have 2 turbo boost's witch one should i disable i think i have one that says
Intel turbo boost
cpu boost

Mobo: Msi Z77 MPOWER supports up to 3000mhz ( Created for overclocking )
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400mhz

I'm not too sure to be honest.. I don't have a lot of experience with new intel boards but I would disable both of them as I imagine they both do the same thing.

SPECCY==> http://i.imgur.com/u0ojNtz.png

CPU idle its 37C
while playing DOOM its at 44-48C

I only use my PC for gaming nothing else

My Question is

Is My CPU now running at 4,3Ghz or 5,25Ghz???

And also HOW can i make the clock go to 5,25Ghz automatically ONLY when i play games and nothing else is that even possible???

Here are my BIOS SETTINGS

1. Cpu base frequency ( 10000 )
2. Adjust CPU ratio ( 43)
3. Adjust CPU ratio in OS ( Disabled )
4. Internal PLL over-voltage ( Enabled ) ===> What is this?
5. EISF ( Enabled ) ===> What is this?
6. Intel Turbo Boost ( Enabled )
7. Enhanced Turbo ( Enabled ) ===> I think this is whats cussing the problem but witch one do i shut off?
8. DRAM reference Clock ( Auto )
9. Dram Frequency ( 2200mhz )
10. Extreme Memory profile X.M.P ( Enabled)
11. Adjusted DRAM frequency (2200mhz)
12. DRAM Timing Mode ( Auto )
ALL VOLTAGES ON AUTO AND UNTOUCHED

Turn them both off. Your cpu will automatically run at the speed your multiplier is set to. You're essentially overriding turbo boost when you manually set the multiplier.

At the end of the day the question i have is

By having my CPU at 4,3Ghz and both turbo on DO i create some sort of dmg to the CPU ( Short or long term? )

No. But if you want to increase your chances of stability and eliminate some of this confusion you're having it's the best way to go. At the very least disable the enhanced turbo and leave intel turbo boost on. But there is no turbo boost when your multiplier is already set above standard turbo speeds. Turn turbo off because you're already above turbo speeds with the overclock.

Turn off the enhanced one if you insist on leaving one on. If you're going to leave the intel turbo boost on just make sure the turbo is set the same for all cores and set the same as your overclock multiplier is set. Everything must be the same that is why there is no need to have it on at all because you eliminate there being a turbo when you overclock your cpu. It's always running at the same speed. Understand what I'm telling you? There is no turbo anymore. But definitely turn off the enhanced turbo. If you want to leave the Intel turbo boost on that's fine it's not going to make any difference as long as you have all cores set to the same.

Okay but

How do i set the Intel turbo boost to be the same for all cores??

Also i disabled both turbo's and the Clock Speed on Task manager still says 5,25Ghz instead of 4,3Ghz Why???

I'm not sure why. But as everyone has said, if cpu-z reads it at 4.3 then it's at 4.3. Set your multiplier to 43. If intel turbo boost is on then set the turbo for all cores to 43. If you leave it off as everyone has advised then you won't have to worry about it. If your temps are stable and cpu-z reads it at 4.3 and you're running stable don't pay attention to task manager. I honestly can't tell you what's going on with that. Not trying to insult you but you seem to be extremely new to this. To the point you are having a hard time providing anything helpful for anyone to even begin to diagnose it for you over the internet. It isn;t something I'd worry about because in the cpu-z screenshot you posted it said your vcore was under 1.2 you are not at 5.3 ghz with a 1.2 vcore and low temps. It's not feesible. I wouldn't worry about it all you're doing is stressing yourself out.

Sooo CPU-Z say's the truth ha.... Okay
My multiplier its at x43 right now with zero overclock on voltage its on (Auto) and it passed prime 95 never goes above 70C
I know am new to this BUT what would you like me to provide in order for people to Diagnose my PC tell me at i will have it up in the forum in no time
Yeah i know am stressing myself out but i want to know if my pc its okay and no harm will come to it because am kinda broke at the moment and i don't have money for parts to buy immediately in case something goes "Kaboom"

Also how do i start learning about these things?
i don't want to be new to this game anymore

Also i just want one more thing

What can i provide to you so you can tell me how to get my CPU from 4,3 to 4,5Ghz stable and my Ram from 2200mhz to 2400mhz that its suppose to be ???

i'll have some screenshots of my BIOS up in a couple of minutes soo you can see the full picture

***UPDATE****

Here are my Bios Pictures if anything else needed PLEASE let me know also please let me know if i have any setting "messed up" so i can fix it

You're trying to do too much too fast. Just relax and be happy you're stable at 4.3 all this stress you're causing yourself is only going to multiply if you go from a stable 4.3 oc to an unstable 4.5 seriously leave it where it's at until you learn how to oc it further. It takes time man, I can't run you thru every little detail step by step I really think you should be happy you are stable at 4.3 because you will absolutely in no way at all notice a difference at 4.5 none except your heat will rise. That's it. I just went from an Ivy bridge set up to a sky lake set up and pretty much gained zero gaming performance With the set up you have the only thing that will increase your performance is a better gpu and maybe 8 more gb of ram 8gb is pushing it id leave your cpu where it's at it's perfect there. When you have everything figured out and know what you're doing a little better then maybe focus on a more robust oc but you don't need it. Have a good day.

Thnx for the answer man i will leave it to where it is then till i figure everything out as you said

Btw have you seen my BIOS picture's they are linked in my previous comment

Also i have TURNED ON the XMP profile in my BIOS as you can see from the pictures but nothing changed i had to manually set my clock to 2200mhz where its stable

Also a NOTE my Ram its 10-12-12-31 2400mhz 1,65V ( Just so you know IF you have the time to go through the BIOS picture's i posted )

ANYWAYS thnx for help and your advice man i will leave it as it is and go buy 32GB ram and GTX 1080Ti Classified Edition when it come's Out

Thnx again man and have a good day

Lol. No problem, and no I just got home from work I haven't had the chance to look at anything. I'm gonna do some gaming tonight and tomorrow I'll try and help more. I have 32gb ram. I don't need 32gb ram. At all but if you can comfortably afford it why not. I was able to this time around. I have the gtx 1080 ftw. I had the 1070, it was plenty for 1080p I am using 1440p so I stepped it up. The 1080ti will be a beast but as I jusy mentioned, if you are planning on playing at 1080p there's no need for it. I almost dropped 900 today on the 35" Predator 1080p monitor. I wish I would have stayed with the gtx 1070. It's much more affordable but I didn't so I'm gonna hold off a little longer and be an idiot and drop 1100 on the 1440p predator 34" or the rog swift. Not bragging just saying With the maximum refrsh rate on displays 1070 is prime for 1080p 1080 prime for 1440p 1080ti even better for 1440p maybe even decent at 4k don't know yet.

Yup that what i thought 2

I will probably get a 32gb ram witch is 250$ i think and a gtx 1080Ti cuz now i have the gtx 680 and only 2gb vram and that's no enough for today's game's because i play on a 1440x900 monitor ( i know ancient technologies ) and the game's freeze from time to time and that cuz its using my entire Vram and the games want even more and they cant have it
Also am thinking 2 of buying the ROG SWIFT PG348Q but that sucker its too expensive lol here where i live its 1800 Euros am gonna probably end up buying it from America and have it shipped cuz its way cheaper that way lol
