So I started to notice when ever I overclock my CPU anymore the system slows down and I have USB issues and internet issues, this overclock has been stable for me for the past 2 years and now all of a sudden I can't give it any overclock or these issues start happening, any thoughts?

Is the instability due to temperatures?

My guess is thermal paste drying up, causing overheating and thermal throttling to occur

No, It's always hung at around 58 Celsius which is 11 degrees below the TJ max for my CPU, everything is the same it's always been but no all of a sudden i'm having these problems

and you double post due to your issue i believe....

 

have you tried clearing your CMOS?....note that clearing the CMOS properly will erase any changes made in the BIOS AKA you OC settings.

I have tried clearing the CMOS and I even got a new battery since it was a used motherboard and nothing, I also tried overclocking in AI Suite and no matter what settings I try when I do it in AI Suite the CPU will not go past the base 3.9GHz and is real hesitant to go past 3.9 even when overclocking in the bios

Most people say they cleared the CMOS but when it comes to OCing you must clear the CMOS with the RAM uninstalled and the power cord taken off to start clean.

 

  1. How often have you changed the TIM between the CPU and the cooler?
  2. what is your voltage?
  3. AI Suite is really for finding out your CPU's quality and then you can/should manually tweak your OC for a better OC
  4. are you using adaptive or straight manual voltage?
  5. did you do any updates of the OS?...is the OS Win10? there are some reports of botched Win10 updates that spoil OC settings
  6. i am going to assume you have check device manager to see  if something is missing and that you have monitored all temperatures including the MOBO and HDD to see if the problem is there?...if not do so.
