2600x auto overclocking! NEED HELP

[goosequak]

My system has a 2600x with the stock wraith spire cooler. and while I'm playing fortnite and other games my computer will sometimes just freeze. i have realized this is because my CPU is auto overclocking itself to like 4.6 and my temps are skyrocketing. I have no idea how I can stop it from doing this. the method I use now is just using AMD Ryzen master but having to open that and change the settings every time I boot is annoying and sometimes I forget. any help? my mobo is an asrock ab350 pro4 if that helps, idk

If temps are too high the chip should not be using XMP, what temps are you getting specifically?

idling is all over the place, like 45-50. in fortnite its around 60-65

if max temps are 65 then temps are not the issue

idk what it could be then, it seems to happen less when my cpu is capped at 3.6 with ryzen master.

What tells you your CPU is getting up to 4.6GHz?  I don't that's actually true. 

 

And what settings have you set in Ryzen Master?  Can you show us?

 

Also, have you changed anything in your BIOS?
