Hi everyone,
Recently I built a PC with 8600k in it and decided to overclock it. I could get 4,7GHz without rising the voltage. Then I decided to get 4,9GHz and it also worked. I was curious if I could undervolt it and yeah, I could. I ran stable cinebench at 1,2V with 4,9GHz. The thing is synthetic benchmarks don't crash but games do. When I launched BF1 my pc instantly freezed. I tried adding voltage but I ended up at about 1,34V and still it didn't work. What is the problem here? Do games need more voltage?
