Looking for guidance on CPU voltage and overclocking?
A benchmark on Cpu Z triggered a blue screen twice. It seems your current configuration is quite high; you might want to slightly reduce the speed or increase the vcore a bit. I found a guide that looks promising: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8227/devil...i5-4690k/2. Following their steps should help, as they provide detailed speed and voltage tables. They suggest going beyond the optimal frequency range (around 4.6 to 4.7ghz) depending on the CPU model. It could push your performance past 4400 MHz, but likely not significantly. If you still experience stuttering in games, lowering a few settings or using a g-sync monitor might resolve the issue. I adjusted the frequency to 43 (4300mhz), which stopped the blue screen, though the display still flickers briefly. Thank you for the link—I'll check it out after finishing work! I've also noticed small red dots in the valley benchmark for my GPU, which was fixed via MSI but returned to normal. No issues seen in game or heaven benchmarks, just occasional artifacts in valley.
These kinds of issues are usually caused by a defective GPU, especially with a 1070 model—should it still be under warranty? It might also indicate overheating; can you tell me what temperature it's reaching? I've reached out to the service team and am awaiting their response. In general, temperatures often climb up to 70°C in tests, usually peaking between 50 and 60°C during intense gameplay.
