How To Disable Overclocking 【90% Premium】
How to confirm overclocking is indeed disabled:
| Component | Verification command | Expected output |
|-----------|---------------------|------------------|
| CPU ratio | lscpu \| grep "CPU max MHz" | ≤ nominal turbo max |
| BCLK (base clock) | sudo dmidecode -t processor \| grep "Current Speed" | Same as non-OC |
| Core voltage | sensors (coretemp) | ≤ VID maximum per datasheet |
| Memory | decode-dimms | Frequency = JEDEC std, not XMP/EXPO |
| GPU | nvidia-smi -q \| grep "Clocks" | Graphics = default max | how to disable overclocking
For continuous runtime monitoring: Use a TPM-measured boot that hashes MSR 0x198 (IA32_PERF_STATUS) and compares to golden measurement. How to confirm overclocking is indeed disabled: |

Warning: Your system will feel slower with RAM at base speeds. If stability returns, you can try re-enabling XMP but lowering frequency one step (e.g., from 3600MHz to 3200MHz).
