Hey guys, happy holidays! I've been trying to get a solid overclock on my 9700k for a few weeks now and it's getting a little frustrating. Currently I am sitting at 4.8ghz with around 1.32v (CPU-Z Score). I started at 1.28v and everything seemed stable for the most part. Ran it through many different stress tests for a few hours (Prime95, Aida64, Intel XTU, Burn in test) and never got any freezing or BSOD's. Weird thing is, after all that stressing is done, I'll play a few games and by the end of the night leave my PC to idle. It's usually then when my PC restarts from a BSOD or something. I've been upping my voltage since and so far am at 1.32v with it just recently doing it at 1.31v last night while idling. It's just frustrating because I'll leave it stressing under Prime95 for hours and even overnight with it on Aida64 with either my CPU being benched or with my GPU as well.
My temps are good, never exceeding 80c in any of the stress tests and not even getting over 70c in gaming. I ran some ram tests and each one came back with 0 errors. Here is my memory.dmp file from my computer if that helps.
I understand this is most likely a voltage issue, but can someone help explain as to why this BSOD is happening when my PC isn't doing anything yet passing completely on every stress test I throw at it?
Specs:
