Overclock Related?

[AHaskin14]

Recently replaced my mobo and reinstalled windows. now bith in game and out of game my computer completely freezes at a 4.4 ghz and 1.21 V overclock which worked fine on my old mobo. is this an overclock problem? i thought failed OC's just blue screened

It's likely not failed, just not stable, and the different motherboard is going to make a big difference. All boards overclock differently

i figured this. my hours upon hours of stree testing must now start again. anything not working is failure in my eyes.

You don't have to pass every single test to deem an overclock stable, thats just nonsense.

in the past years of "stress-benching" CPU/GPU, i've found that synths are good

for "dirty" quick testing, but never 100% solid/stable. real-world testing and use

is the only real "test" to check stability. hours of synthetic benching still doesn't

create the same conditions as RW use.

 

the past year, i've used OCCT or XTU under 15min for "where am i at?" voltage

wise. then a battery of stressful productivity (since that what i do) regimen and

if it falls on its face (stalls, freezes, BSOD) do s'more fixin'. if it passes, lower

the vCORE till it fails. video playback and creation finds the errors pretty quick.

ya i know the whole overclock process i just didnt know that rather than a blue screen like i would get before it could just simply freeze. I turned it up to 1.22 and its been fine since. This new Gigabyte Z97x board has some weeeeeeird BIOS tools and settings that are much harder to use than my MSI G45
