I5 7600k issues after GPU upgrade
I5 7600k issues after GPU upgrade
Hey everyone! So I'm running into an issue that is beyond my expertise and can't seem to find an answer online. I've been running my i5 7600k for quite some time now with a stable 5ghz 1.350v overclock with no issues until recently. I did numerous stress tests and hours of gaming with no problems whatsoever. Yesterday I went out and bought a Evga Gtx 1080 upgrading from my old Gtx 1050ti and suddenly I'm getting a BSOD shortly after starting a gaming session. Am i correct in assuming that the added power consumption of the 1080 made my CPU overclock unstable? I backed the overclock down to 4.8ghz @ 1.300v and seem to have no issues. I was hoping that i could sustain that 5ghz overclock but really don't want to push past the 1.350v i was running it at. I can totally live with the 4.8ghz overclock if having a 1080 means i need to push more voltage to sustain the 5ghz overclock. Just trying to understand how all this works and if my thoughts are correct on whats going on. Here's a quick snapshot of my system specs. (i know my PSU isn't the greatest)
i5 7600k OC'd to 5.0ghz @ 3.50v
MSI Gaming M5 Z270 Mobo
EVGA 1080 Stock speeds
16gb Corsair vengeance 2400mghz (stock speeds and timings)
Corsair H100i AOI
Corsair CX750M PSU
Windows 10 Pro
Thank you all for any insight on this hiccup! Great community here!
It's probable you're near the stability threshold at 5.0 GHz. You might need to modify the core voltage for improved stability. The screenshot link seems unavailable.
Did you refresh the graphics driver following the installation of the new GPU? If not, obtain and install the most recent graphics driver for your card from http://www.geforce.com/drivers. Use a custom install with the clean install feature. The 750 watt power supply should suffice for the new GPU.

It seems you're likely near the stability limit at 5.0 GHz. You might need to tweak the core voltage for better performance. The screenshot link didn't work. It looks like you installed the newest drivers via GeForce Experience. Given your overclock being close to stable and pushing 1080, sticking with 4.8 GHz seems safer since you don't want to risk exceeding 1.35V. It feels like you might have missed out on the top end—some people are getting 5GHz with much lower voltages here.
