You are currently in an auto oc mode. It's best to reset everything by loading the defaults so you can manually adjust it. Some Asus mobos tend to auto oc without user awareness, which often causes overheating and voltage spikes. This shouldn't be a problem, but it's not ideal. Are you running stress tests? Could you share the current temperatures?

Under stress testing, the CPU reaches up to 75°C, rarely exceeding that, and none of the cores hit 75°C either. I noticed the auto voltage was pushing the CPU close to 1.394 volts—this extra heat might be worth adjusting. With manual settings, I think changing the BCLK to 100 and the multiplier to 45 could help. This might also impact RAM performance, as I've seen it affect speeds. My RAM is currently running at 1648 MHz instead of the recommended 1600 MHz.

Also noticed, with minor adjustments bringing it to 4.5ghz from the 1.6 version using the x16 boost, the voltage occasionally exceeds 1.4V. It might be affecting the processor's performance even when it's running now.

Updated the OC to manual, adjusted the multiplier to 45 and bclk to 100. Began with a 1.25 setting and at 4.5ghz, after a blue screen failure, the second attempt worked smoothly except for Chrome crashing when I tried to open it. Explorer functioned without issues compared to other apps. Through research, it seems my low voltage (compared to CPU usage) might have caused problems, so I switched manual voltage to offset and everything resolved. Now I’m running a long stress test. Another observation: the CPU fans are now revving up like a car under load!

The test began with prolonged stress and reached significant voltages of up to 1.45 or higher. The system shut down immediately when temperatures exceeded 85 degrees. Should I manually adjust the voltage from around 1.25 to a maximum of 1.35?

Well, the big voltage and the resulting heat cause the CPU fan to spin up under load, which makes total sense. I'm new to this and I understand it well, and I think I'm lucky I didn't make any mistakes.

If you understand the typical performance around an average of 4.5 oc, you can build from there. What was your offset?

If you understand the typical average of 4.5 oc, you can begin from there and adjust accordingly. What was your offset? I didn’t realize it had stayed the same as before, which is why I wasn’t sure how it would affect things back then. Appreciate all the time you’ve spent helping me out—it’s been a big support for me.
