So I've tried overclocking over a million times by now and I can never get it to be stable. Yesterday I almost succeeded a 4.7 ghz, fixed v core - 1.25 oc with stress test temps of up to 80C and almost 6 hours of constant gameplay with no BSODs or crashes. Today however, I have no idea how, the temps were higher from the start (Up to 90C when gaming sometimes) and my game crashed a few times.
My question is if you can give me any tips on what I'm doing wrong, or my setup is just to week to handle any overclock.
Please help and thank you
(Also don't blame me if I'm just being stupid, because I don't have much experience with overclocking. Its my first gaming PC I've built myself and I'm still learning. TY)
My specs:
CPU: i7 7700k
Heatsink : BeQuiet Dark Rock 3 Pro
MOBO: Asrock Z270 Extreme4
GPU: GTX 1080 msi gaming x
case: phanteks eclipse p400s
PSU: XFX Black Edition XTR 550W
