My Laptop is overclocked but i havent done anything

[Samuel32197]

My laptop is running at 2.8GHz but i havent changed anything and the highest GHz says 2.4 in Task Manager.

It's not stable at 2.8 (sometimes 2.78 and 2.83)

probably a glitch. OP use HWmonitor for more accurate measurement.

Don't use task manager to check for clock speed

 

Use something like HWmonitor instead

 

Turbo Boost only turns on when you are in heavy load, nothing to worry about that here

 

Also what do you need help with exactly? What is the question

Becuse changed to an SSD and reinstalled windows and i havent got anything like that

@deXxterlab97

HWmonitor is sadly unreliable when it comes down to checking the clock speeds, it does funny prediction math that can cause weird results (i personally saw it reporting max cpu speed at like 8Ghz sometimes which is impossible).

CPU-Z is the best option if you want to be sure.

Intel also has a widget, but it feels so pointless when CPU-Z does the same thing but more.

Same thing in CPU-Z

What kind of laptop is it? Might have some software installed that is set to performance tuning. Also all computers have a Bios but laptops tend to have it hidden to some extent.

It's probably just a background application requesting CPU time, causing it to Turbo even if it isn't under heavy load. It's nothing to worry about.
