After updating to W10 and flashing a new BIOS, the system began crashing during overclocking.
After updating to W10 and flashing a new BIOS, the system began crashing during overclocking.
I previously optimized my 3570k to 4.2 Ghz at 1.285v, but voltage settings varied widely among users. While others achieved stability with lower voltages, mine struggled to maintain consistency. During stress tests, temperatures stayed between 65 and 72 degrees Celsius. Recently, I upgraded from an Intel W8.1 to a W10, which initially worked well, though I encountered memory management errors. Updating the BIOS resolved this, but the issue persisted. I replaced my old RAM (2x4GB, DDR3 at 1600MHz) with a new Kingston 2x8GB, DDR3 1866MHz unit. Flashing the BIOS cleared settings and allowed me to overclock the CPU successfully. However, I still faced shutdowns without warning, sometimes taking up to five seconds to power on after a crash. I attempted automatic overclocking in BIOS, which ran stably at 4.2Ghz with boosted RAM speeds, but I opted to revert settings due to uncertainty about safety and potential harm from boosting. Temperatures consistently exceeded 76°C. My goal is to reach 4.5GHz for streaming, yet I’m unsure if it’s feasible with my current components. I’ve followed many online guides, all suggesting similar outcomes despite lower voltages. Additionally, I can’t run my previous configuration without frequent crashes even before BIOS updates.
What model of power supply do you have? You mentioned only the brand and wattage. Also, Asus boards require a specific BIOS setting adjustment for stable voltage during overclocking. Access your BIOS, go to Advanced Mode, move to the Ai Tweaker section, open the DIGI+ VRM menu, and set CPU load line calibration to High. If voltages remain inconsistent, try Ultra High. I wouldn’t recommend Extreme settings on that board. This should help with your voltage problems. But you’re also experiencing software issues... Have you tried removing the problematic update, restarting, and reinstalling it?
