Cpu Overclock Issues

[Tarzee]

So my build my issue is that when I overclock my cpu beyond 4.4ghz it runs test fine (prime 95, OCCT) but then when I open a twitch stream or something minor it freezes the whole computer forcing me to hard restart the PC. I really want to watch streams and random videos, but also have better frames in-game, what do I do? But I can play games at 4.7-8 ghz all stable (except league for some reason)

PC specs

CPU- FX 6300

cpu cooler- 212 hyper evo

motherboard- m5a97 r2.0 update 2501

gpu- r9 290

ram- gskill 8 gb cl9

psu- evga b2 850w

You can increase the VCore (watch temperatures, also it can decrease lifespan) OR decrease the clock speed.

You can increase the VCore

I've tried that and it's still unstable with twitch streams, and seems to generate alot of unnecessary heat when running benchmarks if the benchmarks work stable with lower Vcore.

Try reducing the clock speed.

I guess you could turn off hardware acceleration if you're using Chrome, see if that works

But that's the issue here, why does my cpu do fine with benchmarks and full load and all that but freeze on streams.

I tried it, and it did not work. I ran the stream for about 10 seconds.

BIOS Update? It helps CPU compatibility.

Hmm that's very bizzare.

Sometimes 100% stable doesn't mean 100% functional. Overclocking is a grab bag of success. Sometimes you come out with a shiny golden trinket. Sometimes its a turd.

My 4670K for instance has been rock solid at 4.5 for a couple weeks now. Just last night? Two blue screens in a row. Knocked my multiplier down a step to 4.4 and reduced voltages. Stable again.

Grab bag.

Update flash and reinstall video drivers.

I searched other forums and someone else allready suggested this,I did it, and it did not seem to make a diffrence.

I have the newest there Bios there is.

But I'm still boggled as to why it works with games and heavy resource needing tasks but freezes on a twitch stream, or fb video.

Maybe try to lower the quality of your stream?

It seemed to work on medium for like one minute and then froze. I honestly have no idea why its doing this.

My friend had this problem. Does it happen with flash only? Or is it whit all videos. Try html5 on youtube if it works then it's flash then downgrade it to 15

Thank you so much man, allthough you did not solve the full extent of the problem you solved it 99%. I got only 0.2 ghz more clock speed out of it and twitch and stuff would not crash other wise it worked out really well and ran the tests well thank you!!! you are a god send.
