Hi everyone,
Apologies for the long post but i feel the above error is as a result of a voltage issue but here's a little backstory as to how i've ended up in the current situation.
I've had my pc build for a little over a year and i've always been battling with the temps on my 4790k + Corsair H100i, although they've never been dangerously high they've always left room for improvement. In an attempt to improve them i reseated my H100i late last year and got the temps down when running Aida64 for 10 mins, the results were...
CPU - 62
Core #1 - 69
Core #2 - 76
Core #3 - 72
Core #4 - 71
These are a vast improvement over the high temps i was getting prior to re-seating, with it hitting 92c on Core #2, i also lowered my voltage on my core in my Asus Maximus VII Hero bios from 'Auto' to 1.161.
Now, despite improvements in my temps and you may say that they should still be lower i will point out some things, my case is the NZXT H440 which is very starved for air flow, it is in a very small compartment in a desk (still room around the case but the hot air has trouble escaping) and my room itself doesn't have much airflow, i'm convinced my temps will improve when i give my case more space when i move out soon, anyways, this was a bit of back story because regardless of whether the above figures are good or not, i think everyone would agree that a cpu hitting 76c wouldn't cause it to crash and during games it never gets that hot.
I noticed the crashing soon after i made the above voltage changes and despite the benchmark running fine, every so often it crashes (when i stream to Steam or in a game for long periods) so i've gradually been increasing the voltage, i THINK it's at around 1.180 now, it was hitting 1.25v on the 'Auto' setting before.
So my question is why am i getting these crashes? is 1.180v really too low for stock turbo speed? are there any other settings in my BIOS i can check? i'd like to get this sorted as i plan to stream to Twitch in future and need my cpu running smoothly.
I know my temps could be better but i feel that it is unrelated and i'm putting it down to the conditions in which my pc is living in, it's something i may work on in future but like i said those temps shouldn't cause crashes.
Any help would be appreciated.
