Failing to play after 20 hours of stability testing caused a crash during gameplay.
Failing to play after 20 hours of stability testing caused a crash during gameplay.
A few days back I re-overclocked my CPU after installing a new GPU, aiming for better performance. The process went smoothly, reaching nearly 4.5GHz after 20 hours of stability testing with AIDA64. Believing it was safe, I continued gaming and played Battlefield 4 for about an hour before encountering a crash (BSOD).
Yoave717 :
Yeah, definitely boost the voltage or cut down the clocks. It's quite simple.
But why is it still crashing even though it was stable for 20 hours without any interruptions?
I faced the same problem when switching to Aida64 after moving to OCCT.
No matter which program you run—real-world stability testing (using your actual apps/games) matters most.
As Verbrannt mentioned, raising the Vcore by 0.010V should help as long as temperatures stay under 80°C.
Absolutely, just tweak the voltage or slow down the clocks—it's quite simple.
Unstable performance. May crash after 100 hours. Just the CPU was overloaded with another kind of task (games). Aida64's stability tests aren't very reliable; try RealBench instead.

As Verbrannt mentioned, raising the Vcore a bit or slowing down the clock can help.
A small change of about 0.010V in Vcore usually works as long as temperatures stay under 80°C.
Yeah, I don't feel the need to tweak it too much. Setting it at 1390 for safety works, even though it didn't drop at any level—it just hit a higher one. Also, I'm pretty sure my graphics card is a 6+2.
