As I said in my previous post, I have a 9600k overclocked to 5.07 GHz. I have a Gigabyte Aorus z370 ultra 2.0 motherboarf. I have my core clock speed to 51 and voltage at 1.355v. When I run a stress test, it is stable at about 78c. But while gaming, bluescreen shows up (whea_uncorrectable_error) also when I put my clock spped to 52, it won't boot. Same error code shows up. My cooler is running at max
 
Solution
Stress tests are only an indication of stability, they are not definitive. Only real world usage proves if an overclock is truly stable and in this case it is not 100% stable.
What PSU do you have? When you're stress testing i'm guessing your only doing the CPU to make sure its running fine, but under gaming the whole system is stressing the PSU and i would fair to guess its not holding the cheese on voltage to keep your CPU stable.
