where is my extra .5ghz in my overclocked CPU

[mrsim]

hey guys noob here and just looking for a little explanation help....i recently purchased this device from overclockers

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/tita...-i7-6700k-4.5ghz-gtx-980ti-6gb-fs-111-og.html

as you can see it clearly states that the CPU is overclocked to 4.5ghz...yet everywhere i check in the p.c. and with benchmark apps it shows the CPU as clocked only to 4.0ghz...will the extra .5ghz only kick in when i stress out the system or is this something i have to initialize myself somehow as i expected this to be already overclocked and showing 4.5ghz....?

also can anyone tell me why whenever i play tom clancy's the division...i cannot boot back into my p.c. without first having to shut the p.c. off...it refuses to exit the game after idecide to stop playing

thanks guys ran CPU-Z,and it seems to show 4.5 i think...just seems odd that it goes not show this in the computer settings itself under 'processors' in device manager they all show as 4ghz...is this supposed to be normal...?

wow thanks for all the replies guys...glad to know it is just me and not the system...and so far the system is pretty cool...except for when i play the division and it decides it does not want to exit the game after pressing exit...i have to turn the thing off completely and then boot up again..it also seems to have issues with my HDMI connection after playing this game as well i have to pull that out too and then reconnect it for the LG 43' TV i am using as a monitor,(cannot afford a real monitor ATM and also need this to game on my xbox 1,in some cases i have to swap the HDMI cables around betweenthe xbox andthe p.c. in order to get the p.c. to recognise the TV or vice versa...not sure who is the culprit
