Cinebench Black Screen
Cinebench Black Screen
I’m adjusting my i7-7700k to overclock and have achieved stable performance around 4.7ghz with 1.22v. Temperatures reach up to 75°C using a Noctua u12s. During Cinebench runs I consistently get about 900, though the screen occasionally goes black without a crash, then clears once the test ends. It seems stability is the main concern, though stress tests (like 20 minutes with Intel Extreme Tuning) ran fine. This might be a bug in Cinebench or an issue with my overclock.
when using a GTX 1080 as the main display, there shouldn't be any blackouts. If there were, it would likely be due to an issue with the onboard CPU IGP, rather than the system being overstressed. It seems the problem might lie in the CPU's graphics capability or its handling of stress, so you should concentrate on optimizing your scripts instead. The need for a high MHz CPU speed is unclear at this point.

Consider running stress tests using ROG RealBench or OCCT. If issues arise, increase the voltage and turn off the iGPU in the BIOS advanced settings. Also, 1.22v appears quite low for a 4.7GHz processor. Lucky guess 😉
Cinebench is more suitable for benchmarking. I've never seen anyone relying on it to ensure stability after just a few runs.
Also, is LLC enabled?
