Random THz spikes in HW monitor? Catalina / Overclocked 5930k

[pascalholm]

Getting some random Spikes in the HWMonitor.. Anyone had this before and solved it?

im overclocked with np C1/EIST on PURPOSE as i prefer full whack at all times, always have for years on multiple HackBuilds but never seen this.

Help!

I've been seeing it too, on a non-OC 4670K, Mojave.

But it's in the average frequency, which leads me to believe it's just a calculation bug in HW Monitor.

At any rate, I doubt we're accidentally hitting Two. Million. Giga. Hertz. The world records are in the 8 THz range, attained with the help of liquid helium.

It just now occurred to me:

2,147,483,647 is the highest positive number that can be held by a signed 32-bit integer ((2**31)-1). So yeah, it's just a math bug.
