Asrock Z270 Extreme4
i7 7700k
Deepcool - Maelstrom 120T 83.6 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory at 1.2v
Gigabyte GTX 1080ti Gaming OC
Silverstone - Strider Gold 650W 80+ Gold
Intel - 600p Series M.2-2280 OS Drive with Windows 10
I just cant OC my CPU at all without causing issues, mostly a freeze up when Alt Tabbing or just general freezing while gaming. Stock boast is 4.6Ghz and I have tried turning off intel speed step and just leaving it at 4.6Ghz at 1.325v and I still crash. I have tried AsRocks presets that according to reviews should give excellent results, but I still have issues, even at the lowest of 4.6Ghz. I tried 4.6Ghz at auto volts which also failed. But, I have been able to go to 5Ghz and leave Adia64 running for 4 hours and keep decent temps only to crash once in a games.
Something worth noting, even when everything is set to auto, sometimes my PC will fail to turn off or restart. But once I have done a hardset it will start fine. If I restart from Windows desktop I sometime freeze up on the spinning wheel image after the restart.
This has been on multiple fresh install's of Windows 10.
Please help me! I spent extra money on these parts with the expectation of overclocking.
