7890XE 4.1 GHz Watercool Stable, excluding MATLAB 2018A
I own an i9 7980XE built with an MSI X299 SLI plus motherboard. After replacing two Hydro 100i V2 pumps due to failure, I switched to Corsair Hydro 115i Pro for water cooling. The board already holds 128 GB of Corsair memory, and hyperthreading is enabled. My graphics card is an nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 with 3 GB, updated to version 3/23/18.
The operating system is Windows 10 64-bit Enterprise Edition. I’ve performed an OC from the BIOS, selecting XMP and setting the CPU ratio to 41 while keeping all other parameters at auto. The system operates stably, maintaining average temperatures around 80°C during a full 36 logical processor load.
I successfully run Matlab 2018b with optimal performance and reasonable computation times. However, under 2018a, executing a basic benchmark triggers a graphics crash—screen goes black, followed by three beeps, and the system freezes until I power it off. The motherboard LED E0 indicates an IPL S3 failure, likely due to a restart issue.
I believe the newer MATLAB version is optimizing hardware interactions at the interface level, which may be causing the graphics glitch. I’m looking for guidance on adjusting settings to preserve high clock speeds for calculations while reducing graphics performance enough to avoid system instability. My priority is maintaining fast computation without sacrificing stability.
Cheers,

My prediction seems to be about your overclocking. A simple method to check is to reset it to AUTO or standard settings and see how it performs.
My prediction is that this depends on your overclocking. A simple method to check is to reset it to all AUTO or standard settings and see how it performs.
I think MSI provides a similar application to Asrock's "F-Stream" that can boost performance through Windows.
UI overclocking is no less questionable than setting +15% OC in the BIOS. To achieve stability, you'll need to experiment through manual adjustments.
