I thought I had my O.C. stable. Then I started having weird issues, like my mouse freezing.
I have checked all of my updates, they are ok, I took the O.C. off, I switched ports, and switched mice. It still freezes for maybe 10 seconds at a time. Gaming, surfing, doing nothing. It doesn't happen all the time but it was getting pretty bad before I took the O.C. off.
I thought maybe I had screwed something up in my o.c. so I am starting over. I am starting with a 24 hour Prime 95 stability test. I want to monitor what is what as I gradually increase my O.C.
After 12 hours of stability testing I notice that all cores have dropped at some point. Everything is still at 100% usage, so I think this shows the stability I am looking for, yet I am curious about why core activity drops at all. Am I not stable? I am using HW info to monitor and prime 95 on custom with all avx turned off to test.
I have everything set at auto on my MOBO except for things like my llc, cool n quiet, c1e, etc. Basically I have set everything in the BIOS to O.C. with out actually over clocking yet.
Hardware is
fx 6350 CPU
Asus 970 Pro Gaming Aura MOBO cooled with a 280mm clc AIO. Everything is powered by a 1500W PSU. I have 16gb of 2133 RAM stuffed in there along with a radeon r9 270X GPU that is at stock settings.
So 2 questions:
Why is my mouse freezing?
Why do my CPU cores drop to less than 100% when stress testing, and is that instability?
TIA.
