Hey guys. Total OC newb, unfortunately. Either I've lost the silicone lottery bad, or I'm doing something really stupid.
9700k paired with an Aorus Pro Wifi board.
Mugen 5 rev B air cooler
EVGA 2070 and 16gb G.SKILL TridentZ.
On stock, my idle temps are low 30s and run Prime95 in the upper 50s.
I've finally tried to overclock, and everything makes Prime95 freeze my computer almost instantly. I've tried (with AMP on, enhanced multi-core performance off, and uncore at 4.7g. I haven't messed with LLC because every guide I've seen refers to numbers but Aorus uses Auto/Turbo/Extreme?):
5.0g, 1.32v
5.0g, 1.30v
4.8g, 1.30v
4.6g, 1.32v
Then I went back and tried, just for good measure
5.0g, 1.35v, -2 AVX offset
All of them had the exact same conclusion. I boot up HWiNFO64, Speccy, and Prime95. Run it. Temps go up to the upper 50s. I get excited. And then my computer goes totally unresponsive. I wait with bated breath, give up, and restart my PC.
Please tell me I'm doing something monumentally obvious and dumb and I just need to flip a no to a yes or something.
