I underclocked my i5-8600K to 2.9GHz and now HWMonitor thinks I have an i5-9400.

    lol what

     

    also, underclocking a K series chip... why?

    I think it's because they are both Coffee Lake chips and the base clock of the 9400 is 2.9 GHz so HWMonitor is getting confused.

    @firelighter487 For Folding reasons, I don't CPU fold so I've underclocked so my CPU doesn't get baked while I leave my PC on when I go to work.
