First off, I honestly don't know much about overclocking, and I don't really feel the need to overclock right now.
I recently installed a new SSD in my pc and wiped everything to start back from scratch. I flashed the latest BIOS for my board once I was reformatted as well.
Before reformatting, my idle temps on my i7 2600k were about 26-30C tops and about 40C under load (with a Cooler Master V8 cooler). After reformatting my idle temps are about 30-35 (with a decent amount of fluctuation on all cores) and under load my temps get up to the mid 60s.
I'm using Real Temp to check my temps and what I also noticed is that my clock speed is getting up to 4.4ghz. The thing is I dont recall overclocking my cpu at all or touching any of those settings. I have an ASUS P8P67 LE board and I know their are profiles set up but even when I go into bios and set everything back to "Optimized Defaults" I cant seem to get back to fully stock CPU settings.
Nothing is not working for me or anything and I'm sure some of you would be totally happy with these results but I really dont have a need to be OC'ed right now.
If you guys could help me get back to stock with ease (aka mostly layman's terms) I would really appreciate it.
Specs:
Intel Core i7 2600k
Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler
Nvidia GTX 670
ASUS P8P67 LE
Corsair 16GB RAM
Samsung 830 SSD 128 GB
