A few months back I had a overheating problem with my i7-4790K, it had the factory fan which I read should be able to handle a unclocked CPU, so I assumed it was broken, but checked and it wasn't. I redid the thermal paste and all, still overheated.
So, I bought a new fan.
Now, just like an hour ago I realized that my CPU clock speed, was sometimes changing from around 1, to up to 4.5GHz.
I knew that Intel SpeedBoost (I think that's what it's called) lowers the clock speed when it's not needed, but as far as I know it should not exceed the max clock set in BIOS?
And I have not overclocked it, so how come it does go above 4.0GHz (which is the default clock speed) ?
