Task Manager says my 4690K is running at 5.25GHz

I got a new MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming motherboard to replace my old ASRock H81M. I tried some overclocking and this happened...

Have I won the silicon lottery? :P 

I say jiggly-bytes when I see "GB".

It goes down better than you would expect.

Yeah give us CPU-Z screens.

For me Windows used to report completely random clock speeds when overclocking (+5GHz when overclocked by 100MHz).

Desktop: Intel i9-10850K (R9 3900X died 😢 )| MSI Z490 Tomahawk | RTX 2080 (borrowed from work) - MSI GTX 1080 | 64GB 3600MHz CL16 memory | Corsair H100i (NF-F12 fans) | Samsung 970 EVO 512GB | Intel 665p 2TB | Samsung 830 256GB| 3TB HDD | Corsair 450D | Corsair RM550x | MG279Q

Laptop: Surface Pro 7 (i5, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD)

Using Task Manager to determine clock speed is pure garbage.

 

aggred but the max clock speed is usually acurate

Actually, it's not.  It would be nice if it was.

 

On another note, these "did I win the lottery" threads are popping up all over the place again.  I don't understand the popularity.  Clock speed means nothing.  If you can't show what it actually netted in the ways of measured performance it simply doesn't matter.

yea I actually believed it at first until I remembered that no cpu on earth could run 5ghz at stock volts

task manager doesnt say a valid clock speed, could be an error.

 

give us a cpu-z screenshot and benchmark then we'll see if its really 5.25ghz.

It's not lol. It says the max speed up my CPU is 3.3 GHz which isn't even the stock turbo speed. That is when I have it overclocked to 4.6.
