Problems after overclocking R7 370

[arranb1223]

Hi There,

Yesterday I over clocked my R7 370 from 955MHz to 1150MHz on the core clock and 1400MHz to 1500MHz on the memory,

I ran unigine valley yesterday for about 2 hours to check if i was stable and I had no issues,

But today half way through running the same benchmark an error came up saying "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered"

I have the latest drivers for my card and haven't had this problem before,

Could this be related to overclocking it?

Yes. Definitely an unstable overclock. 

 

Unigine valley isn't the most reliable when trying to find unstable clocks. You should test your games as well. Drop it to 1130Mhz and see if it continues to crash.

What program would you recommend?

I personally use crysis 3 to find unstable overclocks.

Anything free? Don't have crysis

The games you play + Unigine Heaven and Firestrike. 

 

If you don't have firestrike that's alright. Personally I use my modded skyrim at 4K. Its a sure way to identify unstable clocks.

Unigine heaven?  Firestrike also works,  but heaven can be looped.

I have Heaven and firestrike, but firestrike runs like crap on my rig

 

Is heaven more intensive than valley?

It usually is a bit more effective at finding unstable overclock compared to valley,  but not a whole lot better.  Its free,  so you should at least try it out

Somewhat. But you should use firestrike as well.
