i5 6600K mantiene il blu-schermo anche senza surriscaldamento eccessivo
I have an i5 6600K that I've overclocked to 4.4Ghz and it's working perfectly fine.
I'm attempting to reach 4.6Ghz, but the ASRock board already has overclock tools installed. I just pick the next level up to 4.6 for the CPU.
Each time I select 4.6, a blue screen appears after about 30 seconds while the computer is idle.
Despite this, the CPU isn't getting hot—its temperature never exceeds 40°C. Why would it always crash? Could it be related to my PSU being too weak?
i5 6600K / 4.4 Ghz on ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Z170 motherboard
GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER, 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM
Windows 10 installed
Power supply model listed as MODEL SL-F400 by Soly Tech.
System originally came with an older pre-built setup, but it still works well now.
You should have swapped the PSU when you added the GPU. The GTX 1660 Super needs an 8-pin PCIe power connector, but your PSU only has a 6-pin. Additionally, it's not even a genuine 400W PSU. I'll just note that you're lucky the GTX 1660 Super uses relatively little power.
it's not always about heat; it might stem from RAM constraints, voltage adjustments, or cache configurations.
likely not the power supply unit, since the difference in power use would be small between a steady 4.4GHz and 4.6GHz when idle or fully loaded.
I possess an 8 pin adapter.
I don't require more than a 400 wat PSU; my setup typically uses around 315 watts or less.
In the near future, I plan to replace this with a new Ryzen CPU and motherboard by the end of 2020, but at the moment this configuration remains sufficient for running games at ultra settings and achieving 80-100+ FPS... the 4+ core CPU is still solid even after its overclocking.
You're missing a 400W power supply. It's a dual-rail unit with 168W on one rail and 180W on the other. They should have labeled it as a 350W model.
It might not be the power supply that's the problem, but it's not suitable for gaming or overclocking setups.
But now you're here because you seem stuck at reaching higher CPU speeds...
Over time, power supplies lose efficiency. That 350-watt unit isn't delivering its full capacity anymore.
And a device of uncertain build quality would likely limit performance too.
This particular PSU might be the main issue:
- it may not manage the extra power needed from another component
- it operates just a bit too hot, causing even more reduction in output
Or both factors could be at play.
It's better to focus on quality rather than quantity.
You might want to reconsider your expectations.
