Overclock i7-8700k Blue Screen
MCMunroe shares his experience with i7s not always reaching 5Ghz and being difficult to cool under heavy use. Silicon Lottery mentions he recently got a thermal grizzly Kryonaut and plans to replace his old paste. He’s searching for a delid tool but finds it expensive in the UK, over 80 pounds.
SgtScream asks about the BIOS version of the motherboard. They mention seeing a newer version released two days ago and another update from Intel. The management engine interface is noted for improving system stability.
MCMunroe:
I dissected and Kryonaut using a 3D printed plastic tool and a hand vice.
Temperatures fell 15-20F as expected.
(We used the old CPU as the test subject)
Hmm yeah, but I should invest in 3D printing if I want to do it properly. There was an offer there for 2 with grizzly liquid metal for £77.
When performing a stress test, absence of a blue screen indicates the problem isn't there. Occasional bluescreens while gaming suggest another factor, possibly overheating from the graphics card. Check if internal temperatures rise due to the GPU and consider improving case airflow if needed.
If you're performing a stress test without encountering a bluescreen, except during gaming, heat might be the concern. Unless internal case temperatures are elevated due to the graphics card, consider improving case ventilation. The GPU is running at 65-70 degrees Celsius at 98% usage in Battlefront 2, but blue screens appear with CS GO and League of Legends when the card uses only 10% of its capacity. What version driver?
SgtScream shares observations about gaming performance under stress tests. Heat isn't the main concern unless case temperatures rise due to graphics card usage. Ventilation may need fixing if the issue persists. GPU temps are around 65-70°C at 98% usage in Battlefront 2, but blue screens appear with CS GO and League of Legends even at low card usage. The driver version is up-to-date, but it's unclear if uninstalling NVidia Experience improves FPS or overall performance.
If you're running a stress test without a blue screen, but only see them while gaming, the problem might be related to heat. Unless the inside case temperatures are higher due to the graphics card, consider improving case ventilation.
GPU temps are around 65-70°C at 98% usage in Battlefront 2, but blue screens appear even with CS Go or League of Legends when the card uses only 10% capacity.
What version driver should I use? I plan to check later at home after a recent update, so it's the latest version.
Do you think uninstalling NVidia Experience would improve FPS or overall performance?
Is the blue screen exclusive to overclocked systems?
