Overclock resets after playing
Overclock resets after playing
I'm using an rx 470 with overclocked settings of +50MHz on core and +100MHz. The power limit is at its maximum and the temperature stays at 85°C. Voltage hasn't changed. I've checked stability with 3DMark Firestrike and Unigine Valley, it worked fine even under -6mV voltage, no stutters or artifacts. However, when playing CSGO, after a few minutes the screen goes black, returns to desktop, and then restarts with normal clocks. What's happening and how can I fix it?
Mustafa, the leader:
Hmm, seems like it should be, but if you reduce the overclock do you still face failure in CSGO? Well after it resets, nothing else occurs. This only happens with CSGO, by the way. I played Overwatch and there was no problem.
Right, but I suggest trying a lower overclock and see if it fails similarly. Then retry without any overclock if it does. This will help figure out if it's the overclock or something else causing the issue.
Each Firestrike sequence lasts under a minute. It looks like the OC is too demanding on the GPU. The game resets as a safety measure. I let valley run for about 15 minutes. That should be sufficient to check its stability while using full GPU capacity and speed.
If you reduce the overclock, does that mean you still face the failure in CSGO?
Rogue Leader:
It seems like the problem might be resolved once you lower the overclock. After resetting, everything works fine. This issue is specific to CSGO, though. I tried Overwatch and didn’t encounter any problems.

Right, but I’m suggesting try a lower overclock and see if it fails similarly. Then attempt again without any overclock if it does. This should help figure out if it’s the overclock or something else causing the problem.

Hmm, it should be, but if you back down the overclock do you still have the failure in CSGO?
well after it resets, nothing else happens. this has only happened with csgo btw. i played overwatch and there was no issue
Right but I'm saying try a lower overclock and see if it fails similarly. Then try again with no overclock if it does. This will determine if its the overclock or maybe something else causing the problem.
Oh ok i understand now. I'll give it a go and be back in a bit
Rogue Leader:
Mustafa, it seems correct, but if you lower the overclock, does the failure still occur in CSGO? Well, after a reset, nothing else happens—this only happens with CSGO. I played Overwatch and didn’t experience any issues.
Right, but I suggest trying a lower overclock and see if it fails similarly. Then retry without any overclock if it does. This will help figure out if the problem is due to the overclock or something else.
I decided to stick with +30 MHz on the core, kept memory at +100 MHz, and played 11 rounds in casual CSGO. No crashes or resets to normal speeds. I believe it’s safe at that setting.
