Overclock stability help

[SmileAsTheyDie]

Hello all. Recently I started recording my gameplay with OBS and once I found some settings that worked I discovered my system would crash via a freezing and a buzzing sound. I thought it was either my CPU or GPU overclock that wasn't stable (Which I have been running these overclocks before I started recording for months without issue). I started with removing my GPU overclock and the crash changed from a freeze with a buzzing sound to just a freeze. Then I removed the CPU overclock and I didn't freeze at all (or atleast in the 2 hour recording I did, before with the OC I was getting a freeze anywhere from 1 minute to 45 minutes). So I put the CPU overclock back on and just increased the voltage hoping that would make the OC stable and get rid of my issue. I went from my 4.4 @ 1.235 and increased it in .005 increments and got all the way up to 1.295 and was still getting the crashing. 

 

Any idea on why this might be? I cant imagine my OC could be stable with everything minus recording at 1.235 but not be stable recording even at 1.295

How did you validate the OC?

you oc your ram?

try cinebench

prime64

memtest

to test your component

I do have RAM that is clocked at 2133 via XMP.

 

I have ran cinebench, prime95, AIDA64 in the past when I was initially testing my CPU overclock over a year ago and it ran smooth.

 

Though I only fairly recently swapped the RAM I was using for the longest time (some generic 1600mhz ram) for my current kingston hyperx 2133mhz, though since changing that I didn't have any problem with any other program I use. Could the RAM being overclocked be causing the instability while recording?

freeze can cause the ram vaulty

but many of ram error, most of em isnt just freeze it would be a bsod

Well last night I ran a memtest with my RAM running at 2133 and over 10 passes I got no errors.

 

I also did some more testing today and I discovered the crash does occur when my CPU is at stock too along with when my ram is at the 1600mhz XMP profile. So even with everything in my system running at stock the freezes still occur while recording.

reinstall your system with stock
