Am I lucky?

[Goodman2265]

I've never had a PC crash on my in my years of using one!

Am I lucky?

[Volbet]

No, you aren't lucky. You just aren't adventurous. 

Now it is time for you to overclock your CPU.

4 because leaving F@H on and then starting a game isn't fun :c

Look my page and look at CPU clock

[ThinkWithPortals]

Either we're both lucky or neither of us are, because I never have either.

Well, if you have never had a crash while overclocking that means you either haven't adjusted the VCore to perfection, or that you have used an auto overclocker.

Either way my first statement still stands.

My cousin came over and just put a bunch of stuff into bios and wa-la! its worked

I forgot to update my mobo to a ASUS A88X-Pro

5.0.

Windows 95 used to BSOD every day, and need a complete reinstall every month. I got past 10 BSODs in my first weeks of owning a PC let alone the 20 years since.

[Volbet]

4.7GHz for daily use.

I can overclock it higher, but that would seriously harm the power delivery. You can't really expect the same results overclocking an A8 CPU and a Sandybridge-E CPU.

For my benchmark OC I have been able to hit 5.2GHz.

Never gotten one, have had forced restarts but no blue screen, also no issues at all on this computer

Better knock on wood now... Bad juju coming.

You are a tough nut.

If your computer hasn't crashed, then either you haven't been stressing your PC enough or you weren't the one who did the overclocking. Or you were incredibly lucky.

Forum, which one sounds more likely?

 

because I've crashed dozens of times.

Maybe if you read, you see my cousin came and did it, He has same CPU

That's just an fps reduction, surely? I've never had a crash that was caused by running a game and folding at the same time.

When folding it takes your GPU up to 100%, in the way I think of it you can't exactly run a game off of a saturated GPU... Plus it's always a display driver crash.

[Me1z]

I couldn't even begin to count how many BSODs I've experienced throughout my life. My old Dimension E310 would blue screen at least a dozen times a day due to its poorly designed passively cooled onboard graphics (perhaps playing Gmod for hours on end wasn't the best idea either), and since then I've developed a reputation for going beyond the known limits of bleeding-edge tech and foraging into the realm of theoretical functionality. I can't even remember the last project I worked on where everything went as planned. Given enough time I get everything working, but the BSOD and I have definitely become close friends. Close friends who hope the other gets hit by a bus.

Sounds more like your GPU is in the process of dying, there... I've had display driver crashes under GPU load as well, but only on GPUs that were about to die.

Turn it back to stock speeds and do the overclocking yourself. It's not luck. Your cousin has the same part and he applied the same settings to yours.

You only haven't crashed because you had your hand held. that doesn't count. :mellow:

I like my hands to be held when OCing
