5960x Hightest Stable OC

[Ozzmodious]

I am trying to find the highest value for my 24/7 running. I have booted in at 4.5 and 4.6Ghz
I am currently running 4.5ghz at 1.307v with out any problems and my temps are 34-38c at idle.
I can run any thing I want without issue. I want to keep the temps down, to not degrade the chip.
However when I try to run ROG RealBench 2.2 It starts up then blue screens. Do you think this is a major concern? Should I be reducing until I can run the test? Please give me some feed back.
Thanks.

That's absolutely a major concern, it means that your OC is nowhere near stable. You can try to increase VCore, or lower the multiplier.

As for the temps, idle temps are pretty much irrelevant. You need to know the load temps.

You have to lower clocks/increase voltages while keeping temps under control to keep it stable.
Once you think its "Stable" you must run a stress test, Prime95 for example, for 8+ hours. That is what will dictate what is stable, and what you should be changing.
