Hello guys!
I purchased a new cooler for my high-end processor to enable overclocking for gaming and streaming games like Battlefield 1. I've already tried overclocking my GPU and CPU, but I keep getting an "luxmark has stopped working error" in RealBench when attempting to reach 4.2+ GHz. The Heaven benchmark, where I overclock my GPU, becomes unstable and lags significantly.
My question is, does anyone know a solution to this issue? I've searched extensively but haven't found the best answers. I'm considering replacing my PSU since it might be the cause of power issues, or maybe I need a new GPU because of the high-end processor.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
PSU: Corshair cx600m
GPU: Geforce 960gtx (2gb)
CPU: i7 5820k
Cooler: Noctua NH15
RAM: 8gb 2133mhz
Cheers!

I have two points to make. Buying a low-end PSU is risky with that CPU—you’re taking too much chance.
Check out the R7V48d SSR650RM page and consider upgrading to something like an 1070 or an RX480 instead.

I have two points to make. Purchasing a low-end PSU with that CPU is a big risk. The R7V48d SSR650RM is not suitable for this setup, and opting for something like a 1070 or an RX480 would be better.

And why settle for such a basic unit? Upgrade to something like an RX480 or 1070.
He himself complains about low-model PSUs.
A RM650X or EVGA SuperNOVA 650W G2 would suit you better.

Are you really consuming too much VRAM during the Heaven benchmark?

Riguybuddy shared his thoughts on the matter. He questioned buying a low-end PSU given the CPU's limitations and suggested upgrading to something like an RM650X or EVGA SuperNOVA 650W G2. He also mentioned he himself complains about low-model PSUs.
