R5 2600 clocks

Hi all,

after a long absence from AMD CPU's i've bought a R5 2600 cpu on a budget mobo GA B450m s2h.

Since i'm not that familiar with amd cpu's, i seek advice:

- CPUID HWmonitor shows me that some cores are running up to 4100 mhz

2600 has a base clock of 3400 with boost up to 3900 mhz.

BIOS is set to optimal default, except:

- XMP profile is set to 1 - 2666 mhz ram speed / profile 2 wont boot PC, which is 3000 despite RAM being 3000 mhz (2x same sticks - used prior in intel build), it just not working.

Yesterday all 6 cores showed exact same 4100 max clocks after a while of gaming. Is this an error? No OC was made.

Pictures below shows some of cores again up to 4100 mhz, i installed some programs, watched video, surfed, etc, doing nothing special. 

Anyone a clue whats going on? Wrong readings?

cheers

CPUID HWMONITOR GIVES OUT FALSE READINGS...

HWinfo and Ryzen master give both correct...

So if anyone has some weird readings, check with other tools too.

cheers
