Hello,
I just "upgraded" from a 5820k to a 6850k processor. The 5820k overclocked easily from 3.3 Ghz to 4.0 Ghz easily with just my little H90. But now I'm trying to reach 4.0 Ghz with the 6850k and I'm getting a BSOD after 4 or 5 hours of the computer running (it was idling at the time).
The settings for my attempt at 4 Ghz (using an x99 sabertooth): multiplier of 40, and voltage set to "auto." Memory is set to XMP 2 2400, it's 2133 corsair vengeance.
Prime95 ran for 25 minutes and checked out "okay." But like I said, doing next to nothing it BSODed on me.
I've got other things to consider however but such as; I just formatted all my hard drives and reinstalled everything, drivers may be the culprit to the BSOD, or some other issue. So right now I'm running it just to see if it will stay up and for how long, (at default stock settings, 3.6 and xmp off.)
UPDATE:
I've run Prime95 with no overclocking, all factory settings, no problems whatsoever and the machines been up for a day now without a BSOD. So it looks like I'm just having trouble overclocking this processor.
