Last stable setting for 5.1 ghz was 1.25 volts.
So now that is out of the way. I play around with overclocking occasionally and think I may have damaged the processor.
I had everything stable running 5.3 ghz at 1.37 volts. Temps kept at or under 73 degrees under load. So I got bored and thought I would try 5.4 ghz. I pushed to 1.46 volts and gave up when I couldn't get it to even post.
The problem is now I have backed it down and I am getting crashes. Only during gaming or running prime95 but I never received them prior. I have lowered it down to 5.1 ghz and tried 1.25-1.33 volts and still crashes. Temps are running higher than prior to the overclock attempt. I have also tried turning avx off and still have issues.
I have already done a full reinstall of windows and all software and still the same issue persists. Also tried multiple settings and same issue.
I have not tried reinstalling the processor yet. However I just re-installed the processor the week prior to the overclock attempt.
I was wondering if anyone had any issues simular to this or thoughts on what could be causing the issue? If I need more information please let me know.
The only game I play is cod warzone, and I used msi afterburner, core temp for overclocking and monitoring.
