My i7 appears to strongly dislike overclocking. It’s odd because I don’t see any BSOD, just a lockup. When I run stress tests for days with different programs like Cinebench, Realbench, Aida, and Blenchmark, it stays stable and passes all tests. Then it randomly locks up during games or other apps, even though settings are auto or I’m using 4.4GHZ turbo with 1.3V. This behavior has never happened before, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When aiming for more stability, be aware this might cause the core voltage to go above its intended range temporarily. This adjustment alters the standard curve of the VRMs, allowing them to boost voltage during high-current demands to compensate for the resulting drops.

What are your temperatures during this situation?
Consider checking the Load Line Calibration. It's possible you're observing voltage sag when operating at full capacity.

Temperatures aren't the main issue during gaming at around 63 degrees, and it's unclear whether you should adjust the LLC settings higher or lower.

When aiming for stability, the output can temporarily surpass its intended level. This adjustment modifies the standard curve of the VRMs, enabling them to boost voltage during high-current demands and compensate for the resulting drops.
