Hello! I am currently running the I-7 9700k@ 3.60GHz and it will randomly go up to 4.6GHz then back down and  I am currently getting up to 90 degree celsius while playing games then it will go back down to 60-70 degrees then back up to 90-95 while the CPU speed goes up and down..I have cleaned all the fans and applied new thermal paste between the CPU and the Cooler, im currently thinking this could be the "turbo boost" on the CPU. Ive tried to access the bios to see if i can turn off the turbo boost but there is currently no options to do so in the HP bios menu. In the Omen Gaming Hub I have seen in the "over clock" section it is set to default: Core multiplier 46x / cache ratio 43x / and voltage is set to default. Would it be wise to turn this down? I'm unsure how to keep my CPU at 3.6GHz , i do not want it to go past that if anyone could give me some pointers would be appreciated because I am worried my CPU will fry also i would like to turn off any overclocking that the pc currently has thanks!

In advanced setting of power options you can specify performance as a percent

If the maximum speed (turbo) is 4.6 and you want to stay below 3.3 then 

100 * 3.3 / 4.6 is about 73%

set maximum to 73 and set the minimum below that.


I am surprised it is not the GPU that is getting hot.  I assume you have temp monitoring sensors and it is the CPU that is causing the heat and not the GeForce card  heating the case up.


Another thing to try is disabling hyperthreads.  You have 4 cores and 8 threads and probably don't need all those extra hyperthreads.

I have i7-7900x and in my spare time I mine for GRC and use TThrottle to keep the temps down.
