I overclocked my new system roughly two weeks ago, but now it's become unstable.
I overclocked my new system roughly two weeks ago, but now it's become unstable.
I own a Ryzen 5 2600 with an MSI B450 Tomahawk and an XFS Randon 570 with 8gb RAM. I overclocked the CPU to 3.9ghz and the GPU to 1375, achieving stable performance for about a week. Recently, around a week ago, I began experiencing instability—lockups and windows failing to close. I’m not sure what’s causing it.
I believe I discovered the issue. Like all my builds, I updated the bios with the latest version. I aimed to support the new Ryzen 3000 CPUs. A little after updating my motherboard, MSI released a revised bios. I installed the new one yesterday and have been conducting tests continuously without any problems. It’s unclear why it took so long to encounter an issue, but it appeared to function correctly. I’ll perform additional tests; if anything arises, I’ll share them here. For now, everything seems fine.
Already all overclocking removed. System is functioning properly so far. GPU temperature stays around 73-75 degrees during load. CPU operates at 65 degrees with a clock speed of 3.85 ghz. The highest CPU I've observed is 72 degrees at 3.95 ghz.
System details:
Ryzen 5 2600 3.85 ghz
MSI B450 Tomahawk
Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000
XFX Radeon RX 570 RS XXX Edition
Thermaltake TR2 600 watt (approximately 2 years old)
