System Specs:
I5-8600k
MSI Z370 Carbon Pro AC
GTX 1080 Ti ASUS ROG
G.Skill 3000MHz 16GB
NZXT AIO
Corsair RM650X
For a long time I had a OC of 4.8GHz on my cpu and a factory OC on my gpu those were both stable and never caused any issues. But a couple days ago I overclocked my cpu to 5GHz at 1.29V after some stress testing I found the system to be stable however today the overclock became unstable as programs and games kept crashing at launch or a bit after launch.
Once I started noticing crashing I attempted to stabilise the system by increasing the voltage and I incrementally increased it by 0.05V each time and checked if programs continued crashing. I stopped at 1.36V because I didn't think there was any point so I reverted the clocks to stock and the crashing continued then I reset the BIOS to default settings and no change. My last step was shorting the CMOS pins for 10s but programs still crash.
Temps were always below 80'c for the CPU.
I'm quite worried that I've damaged something can I get some help with how I can resolve this?
