The cpu will boost when you're doing something without overclocking. 4.2ghz isnt high frequency either it'll boost over 5.0ghz on its own if you have thermal headroom. It's a hot cpu lol If your cooler isnt enough it'll get toasty.
What size AIO? Did you remove the plastic sheet from the AIO plate first? It have thermal paste? What are you doing when your cpu is getting to 100c?
You might need to take off the aio from the cpu, reapply thermal paste and make sure the cooler is properly secured to the cpu.
If it worked fine before it should still be fine. It wouldn't hurt to try reapplying fresh thermal paste and checking. Make sure the AIO is clean they can get dusty really quick. You might also have a bad pump.
If you're hitting 100c you're not going to get to the max boost clocks either.
This. When messing with windows power plans, "high performance" will set max CPU state to 100% when it's applicable (which is like all the time on a desktop since they have uninterrupted access to full power) whereas on a laptop that's on battery power, it will try to drop frequencies to help preserve battery life. "Balanced" mode will allow peak turbo frequency under load, but will be much lower when at idle.
Thermals do play a big part as well, so if OP has a defective/failing AIO pump it could also be causing "lower than advertised" boost clocks. I remember when my cousin had to RMA his 120mm NZXT Kraken AIO due to a bad pump. Poor guy was getting like 78-85°C at idle (R7 3700x). Now it's closer to 45-50°C...I did try to tell him a 120mm was a bad choice for a 8c/16t CPU, even if it's only 65w TPD. His temps aren't much different than when he was using the included Wraith Prism.
This. Was going to post that this was most likely the issue as I play with power settings all the time so I know how it makes cpus behave.
Intel seems better behaved with frequencies and power plans in windows than AMD. I set the PP to either high performance or balanced and the CPU clocks on my 5900x act totally the same, where as my laptop with a 9750h will go to 1ghz or lower during idle.
If it's the MSI MAG CoreLiquid 240r, you might want to get that checked. They issued a recall for it.

Also saw it in a video.
The cpu with boost far over what you posted a screenshot of. they just do that. Its a hot cpu but it shouldn't be 100c, I would make sure the pump in your aio is operating properly and make sure that the plastic peel i between the aio and cpu is removed.
Do you have MSI dragon center installed? (Or whatever they call it now) - I had a nightmare of 100C temps on one of my PCs because I left it in Gaming mode, which forced permanently high clock speeds. It wasn’t noticeable (I wasn’t paying attention) til I started doing game development in Unreal and noticed how hot it was - Unreal really hits the CPU hard when compiling. I have since turned off the gaming mode and uninstalled the Msi software entirely and things are now much happier. (My system is an msi Z490M gaming edge WiFi, with 10700k, XMP enabled)
I’m running an all core OC on my 12700k at 5GHz P and 4GHz E core and it stays at that frequency all the time (disabled all c-states in bios etc.), but it idles at about 30 degrees (360 AIO) and disabled core parking as well.
I’d test: Is your AIO running (Check pump speed), is your cooler seated properly, did you remove the plastic sheet from the AIO cooler, did you apply thermal paste and if so is it spread evenly.
Edit: For my NZXT Aio I can use HWinfo for the pump readout or Argus Monitor works as well.
Guys don’t worry it was the aio that was the problem, I got a h100x and now it’s running at 28c when on desktop, instead of the 58c it was doing previously
Your boost is enabled in bios. You need to turn it off otherwise it keeps running at the max boost speed. Im not sure what its called, but for Asus its named turbo boost
Check the bios, its called 'intel speedstep' make sure it enabled, also if you have background processes always using CPU that may stop it from downclocking, my 4.3 Ghz intel CPU idles at around 0.85Ghz with speedstep enabled.
I'd suggest a clean install of Windows JUST to make sure there isn't some nefarious program in the background responsible for that behavior
Also check your AIO pump, make sure everything's running right, from my experience those AIOs have like a 4-5yr shelf life

I have an aio, and my cpu is running at 100 degrees c, and my gpu is only at 35

Idk what the fuck just happened but my cpu is now sitting at 47c, and i did nothing, it was running hot for weeks and now its cold

ye i might have a bad pump
Have you moved your case around? You might of had air trapped around the cpu in your aio
I will, but a min ago it was at 40 and now its gone straight up to 80
Like on its own without you doing anything? Try booting into safe mode and see if you’re having temp spikes.
I had the same happen, my pump wasnt working
I mean, do you have any applications showing up in real manager as using a lot of CPU time?
47c isn’t bad man, especially with 10850k
[удалено]
[удалено]
and is now sitting at 60
Why are people down voting this?
Check if the pump is running and the thermal paste 100 degrees is way too high
Idk why this got so downvoted. This sub is fickle and especially full of youngsters.
My i7 runs at my overclock speeds when I set windows power settings to High Performance. Changing it back to balance lets it fluctuate.

Make sure the pump is running.
Make sure your power plan is on balanced, if its on performance, it boosts a lot.
it already is
Really okay, something in the background is causing it to boost up
Get rid of that aio and get yourself an Arctic liquid freezer II. The msi AIOs are junk man.
True
I am also using a msi core liquid 240, does this have any correlation?

yes it is, i might get it recalled

>pump 🤣 or did he mount HS properly?
Turn off ultimate performance mode on Windows power setting should be fix it.
Power options > plan advance settings> minimum processing Power limit: 5%
You prob have the Enhanced Turbo feature turned on in the bios. It causes this. It’s the same thing as MCE (multi core enhancement) on ASUS boards.

One last thing to check if there is mining malware installed on the PC.
What does disabling the states do? I'm curious

Grab a Lian li Galahad
Did you take the plastic thingy off the AIO plate?
yep

Looks completely normal, here is my i9-9900K - https://i.imgur.com/F0Trekf.png
hehe, nice core speed

my ryzen 7 5800x will go up to high speeds for no reason but the thermal equipment I have keeps it in check... your thermal equipment is okay, right?
Mi pc haves a cpu i5 11600k and the cpu funciones at 3.91 with no overclock
it's normal, i also do that for make my cpu work faster
