[OC HELP]

[MajorChipHazard]

So I noticed upon loading the new watch dogs mods onto my computer that my computer continuously crashed when playing now.

I decided it must be the overclock on my CPU isn't stable.

 

I was running 4.4 GHz @ 1.18 V

So I bumped the voltage up to 1.2.

 

BAD IDEA

 

Upon turning on OCCT and stress testing it, I noticed I had hit the lovely dovely 85C marker.

Back to the drawing board.

 

So I decided I could live with say 4.2. I tried 4.2 @ 1.2 volts to see if it was at least stable, and it was. So I knocked the voltage down to 1.18.

Still stable, still hitting 85C after 2 minutes.

 

Now, I'm trying 4.0 @ 1.17 Volts and I'm hoping that its stable and has decent temps that don't rise to 80 C. (Yes I understand OCCT is stupid for temps and nothing will ever make it reach that temp except OCCT)

 

NOW! My question is.  If I want my game to run stable, and I want to stay at 4.4 @ 1.18, do I need and is it worth it, to get rid of my Hyper 212+ and get a Noctua NH-D15, AND, will that beast fit in my case. (Bitfenix Ronin)

Get the new Watch_Dogs patch and try to play the game again.
