I overclocked my i5-7600k to 4.8GHz at 1.3 volts. I spent hours on my computer with no problem. Good temps all the way through as well. Watched videos and did usual stuff. Even stress tested on CPU-Z and played hours of The Outer Worlds and CSGO. The problem came when I started playing Escape From Tarkov. I crashed 3 times.
The first error I got was “attempted to execute non executable memory”, the second time I didn’t catch what it said, and the third was “page fault in nonpaged area”. What little I could make out other places, they mostly suggest RAM. Kind of what I expected because it mentioned memory. And Tarkov takes A LOT of RAM, so I imagined there was plenty of extra room for error.
I have XMP on but didn’t change anything manually for RAM when overclocking. I honestly barely know what I’m doing with the CPU (safe voltage, temps, ...that’s about it), so if there’s a problem with RAM settings I wouldn’t know where to start.
If bad comes to worse I’ll just go back to game boost for my auto overclock, but if I could squeeze out this extra bit of performance it’d be nice. I’ll include pictures of my bios settings...

I do have mismatched brand/capacity RAM. I know it’s not recommended, but I’ve only had 1 blue screen with normal use in the last 2 years. Other than the last time I tried overclocking.
I posted the exact same as what's above on reddit and only got one response telling me to take out my 4GB sticks and I'd rather go back to being 99.999% stable on a lower overclock than lose 8GB of RAM.
