Attempting to enable auto-overclocking on this old Gigabyte board. At 40% (4.4ghz) it's stable, running 59 degrees during gaming at 1.240 volts. Increasing to 60% (4.5ghz) adds about 0.2 volts and causes a blue screen when starting P95. Why is the voltage rising so much? Is this leading to the blue screen? I'm new to overclocking, previously boosted to 2500k and got 4.0 from it, thought it was good. Now on air, Dark Rock Pro 4
Almost never rely on the auto-overclocking option in the BIOS settings of a motherboard. It frequently increases voltage beyond what’s necessary, leading to blue screens, crashes, or even severe CPU damage. It’s better to manually overclock your CPU, especially if you’re new to this process. Look up an overclocking guide tailored to your specific CPU and motherboard combination online. This approach is simpler, quicker, and reduces the risk of costly errors. Good luck.
