    I have problem with readings on my EUROCOM SKY X6W. In Intel Extreme Tuning Utility I have bad readings on CPU Max core frequency. It read -4.0Ghz... Tried resetting BIOS nothing,same. New system installed,same... What could be the problem? Please check pic.

    Maybe I'm just blind, but... which CPU do you have? And are you using XTU or anything else to alter voltage or clocks?

    I used to get this same thing, intermittently. It'd read -4 on all four core readings.

    Its just a max core frequency reading which is not that useful so i never bothered looking into it, throttlestop which shows the average multiplier of each logical core is much more useful to see what the CPU is actually doing

    You'd want something showing you in detail what's happening. 53W power limit is nowhere near enough to run 4x4.5ghz under even medium load stress tests (if that's an accurate reading)

    Edit: 29W/53W turbo limits I'm guessing is a premamod bios P870DM with 6700K ?

    I have EUROCOM SKY X6W with Intel i7 6700K. I am thinking that this Intel XTU have bad reading. I do not run on any stability problems with these settings but again I think also that reading are not good.

    Hmmmmm... Problem was basically the TDP values as bennyg suggested. After reverting to stock TDP now I have reading... Check pic...
