Overclocking still works without overheating. Temperatures remain within acceptable limits.
Overclocking still works without overheating. Temperatures remain within acceptable limits.
Hello! After I boosted my CPU to 5GHz and adjusted the voltages to auto, I still experience blue screens even though temperatures remain normal. The maximum I've noticed is around 75°C (per hardware specs). All settings are configured in BIOS. My CPU model is Intel i59600k, overclocked at 5GHz using 1.415V (voltage set to auto). The peak temperature reaches about 77°C occasionally. The motherboard is an MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro with a Corsair TX750M PSU, and I've upgraded the fans to a push-pull setup running at 1800rpm after reaching 40°C. Should I consider reducing the voltage? This is my first overclocking attempt, and I'm unsure where to start. Please let me know if you need more photos! Thanks!
Only because your readings are normal doesn't guarantee stability in that timeframe.
Consider shifting to a 4.8 or 4.9ghz setting instead of risking overheating or instability. The returns are fading, so high voltages are unnecessary and hurt efficiency in voltage-to-power and power-to-efficiency terms. A better option would be to upgrade to a used 5600k + z390 board paired with a B3/450, which will significantly outperform the current 9600k ESP when pushed to 4.7 or 4.8 allcore.
I understand you're not experiencing overheating, but I'm unsure how to proceed. I'm trying to figure out the next steps and what actions might help. You're currently using 1.35 volts at 4.8 gigahertz.
They do almost the same thing. Even when you boost the 5600X, I could easily push it to 4.9GHz and stay in the lead. The 5600X runs a bit faster than my own model. (My friend had that CPU too, and we checked, plus YouTube clips confirm similar performance)
