Hi, welcome! Your OC setup seems stable now. This looks like a solid configuration.

It's evident you're not fully grasping the mechanics behind this, which isn't necessarily your fault. Still, it's important to learn about the significance of stress testing, even if you don't plan to tackle complex math—it's still relevant. An unstable CPU or memory overclock isn't just about blue screens; it poses a real risk of widespread data loss. Over time, small inconsistencies can lead to corruption of files, photos, and other important data.

And you clarified precisely what steps were taken to confirm the stability of the overclock.

I completed the CPU stress test for 30 minutes and played CoD Warzone for 7 hours without any issues. The temperature was around 66 degrees. I’m not doing heavy math or mining, just playing games and doing photo editing. It works fine for me, not aiming to break a world record. Would you suggest some programs to check its stability?

It's clear you're not fully grasping the mechanics behind this, and that's probably not your fault, but it's important to learn about the true significance of stress testing, no matter how minor the math might seem. An unstable CPU or memory overclock isn't just about blue screens or visible issues; it poses a real risk of widespread data loss. Over time, small inconsistencies—like extra zeros or missing files—can gradually damage everything from personal documents to system settings. Eventually, you might notice problems within days, weeks, or even months, but if the system isn't stable, you'll likely only suspect hardware failure or a software fault without understanding the root cause. It's often due to accumulated micro-errors rather than a single glitch. Files, saves, game data, and even the operating system can become corrupted. Running an unstable system is risky; it's better to address the issue properly than to take chances. Read up, then decide your next steps.

As I mentioned, I'm just starting out with OC, and I really value the helpful tips.
I plan to switch to version 4.200 and 1.3, then test it out for a while to see how it goes. Thanks!
