Hello guys,

We've just built my friend his first good computer, and we have an unknown issue with it.
The pc contains:
ASUS ROG STRIX GTX1650S O4G GAMING
HyperX Fury RGB 16gb 3200Mhz
ASUS ROG STRIX b450-f GAMING
WD GREEN 240DB sata m.2 ssd
KOLINK HORIZON RGB case
and the AMD RYZEN 2700X CPU - with stock wraith prism cooler

Everything is fine, win10 installed, games run at expected performance rates, but there's this one thing that bothers me.
The CPU is running constantly at 4.2 GHZ (monitored by NZXT CAM) while we never intended to overclock it while he has the stock cooler for the cpu.
In the bios, I enabled DOCP profile to get the RAM to 3200mhz, still the bios says, cpu clock speed is 3700mhz, and also it says "target ram speed: 3200mhz, target cpu clock speed: 3700mhz"
Still according to CAM it runs constantly on 4,2ghz, and I'm not gonna lie, it's very hot.
We would like to take the clock down to the default 3700mhz to get safer thermals, what can we do?
there's no overclockign software downloaded to the PC, it was a compeletly new windows install.

Ps: also don't buy a kolink rgb case, you can't control the fan speed(constant 100% fans) and the front glass kills the airflow

Ram and cpu speed are two different things.

Can you use hwmonitor or hwinfo to monitor the temps and the speed. And while its target is 3700mhz your processor likes to turbo to its intended clock speed (4.2ghz)

You could do that but if its under 85c its fine.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.
