Preface: I’m an overclocking novice
My i5 8600k is throttling to 3600 MHZ, ~1.06V (even lower sometimes) at around 70*C while running P95 and I have no idea why. I’ve even clocked it down to 4.7@1.24V (lazily lowered voltage to see if it would fix issue, I could probably get it lower @4.7) from 5.0@1.29V, and it still throttles after about 15 seconds of running P95 according to CoreTemp. The 5.0@1.29V also throttles running TimeSpy in 3dmark, but I got it to be stable at 4.7 while running Time Spy.
