Overclocking with Windows 7 vs 10

[Fredd001]

Hey guys after searching i cannot seem to find an exact answer and decided to post here and receive some actual information on people who have actually noticed any correlation between:
* Better performance/stability of overclocking the CPU when on either Windows 10 or 7 *
In other words Which OS has been Proven to be "easier" on the CPU, win 7 or 10?

Im trying to OC my i5 3570k to 4.5 - 4.8 Ghz and was wondering if at those speeds the CPU would be more stable/comfortable running windows 7 than windows 10.

Im currently stable OC at 4.2 Ghz, with z77 pro 3 mobo, 12 GB ddr3 @ 1866 & gtx670 gpu. I play BF4 and started ARMA3 (runs on cpu thus I want to see if i can go higher OC).

any info and opinions would be great coming from such an experienced community!!

The OS makes no difference in stability. Stability is stability. You can tell if your system is stable by running Stress Tests of a couple of hours and if to does not crash then it is probably stable.

There are reports of Windows 10 messing with the UEFI and setting OCs back to default before installing. If this happens just go back in and rest your OC settings after the install.

There are also reports of instabilities do to driver problems with Windows 10. If this happens, get the latest drivers. This is about the only way an OS can affect stable over clocks that I know of. There could be some software application issues if you have a app that monitors temperatures and changes speeds through software but that is a different problem.

These are the only issues I can for see being a problem with Windows 10 but I have only run Windows 10 on one system so it is hard to tell yet with all of the different systems out there. I am sure others will let you know how ever.
