currently @ 9800 MHz now. been going for quite some time

Let's see it on an un-edited CPU-Z screenshot.

that was still during stress-testing. after the 9900MHz stress, it rolled over to 0 MHz but kept the numbers on cores. after that it starting increasing in 700MHz increments and i just stopped it and reset the bios.
i tried again with same auto-settings and it did the same thing. i stopped it @ 9900MHz before the roll-over and let it finish from there.
after rebooting, it said i was running @ 8700MHz. but the numbers on cores didn't add up and it would have only been 8300MHz.
during cinebench cpu bench, it showed my cpu was only running @ 4700MHz.

idk what's up. i removed the partial-core tuning option, and it now has me @5025MHz steady w/ 1.4V. not a setting i'm comfortable with, and not a good auto-tune compared to previous runs.
i could incrementally raise 3-core scores manually, but this whole thing seems a bit glitchy and i wouldn't want to blow this chip trying
gonna need to keep dinking with this i guess.

never seen this software, it's probably just reporting it wrong.

in a way, ya i imagine so. i really don't know what settings were being stressed.
i'm gonna try to let it auto-OC again with the same settings and open up some cpuz and see what that says.

this is usually a quick process with multiple resets, so i don't normally open any programs

Keep in mind that there is NO WAY it could get those speeds at the voltage shown. The software is glitchy.

it can't get those speeds period
idc if ur on liquid helium

I'm not so sure about that. AMD got 8.4Ghz on the bulldozer about 5 years ago.

and bulldozer still holds the clock speed world record. AMD made a lot of architectural sacrifices to achieve the speeds bulldozer was known for, 128-bit fmac over native 256 bus such as what intel uses, only a single fpu per 2 core cluster, etc. Intel doesn't gimp their own architecture's performance for clock speed. AMD also went back to fully featured cores with Ryzen so I really don't think it's a record that's going to be broken any time soon.

also it may not be obvious but 9200 mhz is insane compared to 8400mhz. That's gonna be drawing exponentially more power.
