So, I have overclocked my CPU, it runs fine. CPU starts just fine, everything works just fine. But however sometimes when I start a game, the computer just freezes. This has never happened on the first game start, maybe the 2nd, usually the 3rd game start. For example, I start said game. I close it, I start it again. I close it. I start it again, before the game even opens up, the computer freezes, no black screen, no blue screen. It just freezes where it was when I click to start the game. Nothing responds, when I click CAPSLOCK on keyboard the CAPSLOCK LIGHT doesn't turn on so it's just frozen. I have run stress tests and it works just fine. http://valid.x86.fr/1ziaft I also want to mention I did not manually set anything. It was set automatically through XMP. XMP automatically set Fixed Voltage to 1.9V

How long would you suggest it?

Also, if my BIOS is set to 1.2v but CPUID CPU-Z shows 1.234v that is fine?

I'd suggest downloading RealBench 2.44 from here and running it at least for a couple of hours. Asus recommends 4, but 2 or more should be fine.

RealBench is great because it puts your entire system (CPU + GPU) under load at one time. If you are barely AIDA64 stable, you will probably will not pass this so be prepared to add a bit of Vcore voltage in order to pass.

So starting from stock, All I do is change the Multiplayer and the Fixed Voltage, leave everything else alone?

yes pretty much, i increase by 50mhz it run stable good, if not then bump up voltage tiny bit then continue, what cpu do you have for my 7600k i wouldnt go past 1.4v, linus and other techtubers have great guides on oc'ing here
