why does my non k i7-3770 overclock/turbo to 4.5ghz

[MicroDotz]

someinfo=

i was working on some gpu overclocking and noticed my cpu oc went over wat i though it c/would. 

 

some more infos=

mobo=https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H67M_LX/specifications/ 

 

 

more more infos=

it generally turbo boosts all cores up to 4.25-4.3 but in some instances it goes up to 4.4-4.5ghz if i run a stressful application. 

 

more more more infos=

ive been able to note 4.5ghz on cpuz and hwmonitor (even simultaneously ) but not on windows task manager, but ive seen 3 cores hit the 4.5mark in this short amount of time observing it and took a screenshot to post= 

+things like cinebench at the time reported my cpu is running at 3.51ghz so could it just be the bclk allowing turboboost to get more high ?

HWMonitor may have a bug in it as I've seen it report my Ryzen 2700X reach a maximum of 6GHz.

 

If it's consistent, you should probably report it to them.

CPUID's CPU-Z is as useful as HWmonitor isn't. Use HWinfo

6ghz seems legit  lol

I hope you're joking

Non-K 3770 can maximum goes to 4.1 GHz. Or you have a one of a kind 3770.

u can youtube other ppls getting stupid overclocks on it, im not sure why it seems to go above and beyond specs, im going to double check with hwinfo instead , but ive seen 4.2 on task manager in case tht changes something, im pretty sure i saw on youtube some ppls bring it to 4.25 , it is a non k version which is why im wondering why im seeing those scores, it could be like mira and jurrunimo said that the programs are jus wack and misreading too though. the only other explanation i could think of is the bclk allowing turbo boost to start at a higher low end limit, which would in theory allow a higher top end overclock- but i wasent sure so i posted~ im going to do some testing with hwinfo and ill update with a scrreenshot to get some info/helps~

Oh, thanks for the info. Really don't know the non-k 3770 can go beyond 4.1 GHz.

Monitor Clocks while doing a run of Cinebench.
Check others (Youtube) Cinebench runs at those overclocked 3770k clocks...
Do YOU Cinebench the same as Overclocked 3770K's?
That'd be easier to tell...IMO. a download/quick test and score to compare.
4c8t 3.7Ghz Allcores when Loaded FULLY all day,.... 3770+8GB 1600Mhz Ram = 640-670cb?<-somewhere in there? (Cinebench R15)

Use HWInfo > Sensors Only..

my scores were 770-773 for multicore benchmark  and 158 for single core benchmarking-  (took cinebench screenshots actually)

idk the 3770k cinebench scores but my scores should theoretically be under them

i need to do some further research and testing for monitoring actual clocks though with hwinfo program in case their wrong but like...i allready took sleeping meds tonight and i dont wanna risk spending the night sleepclocking
