CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

[VirusStorm]

While I was playing CS:GO, my audio went all weird and started buzzing. My pc then froze and blue screened. It showed CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT and crashed. My CPU is overclocked

as far as i know a watchdog bsod is most of the time cpu related, either by a bad oc or just general unstalble operation. i could be wrong though.

You can always try to turn the oc a little down

i7 6800k

4.5ghz

1.375v

h100i v2

Temps are around 30c idle and 50-60c load

@malon please respond quickly, i'm kind of in a rush

[malon]

i am not sure but i thing that lowering the clock by maybe 200HZ will fix it, not sure what the ''safe'' voltages are for the 6800k though

[malon]

worst case senatio you can always try to run it at stock speeds for now

Ill take it down to 4.3ghz. Thanks for the response!
