Hello, I see your PC is experiencing instability. It seems like the issue might be related to power fluctuations, even though your benchmarks and storage tests look normal. The crashes tend to happen after you stop using the system, such as pausing YouTube or leaving it idle for a short time. Your specs are solid, but sometimes unexpected factors can trigger these problems. You mentioned adjusting the fixed voltage to 1.39—this could help, but keep an eye on temperatures and voltages during crashes. If you want more precise guidance, consider using tools like hwinfo64 to monitor real-time data.

Consider using a different LLC configuration—likely not LLC1 or LLC3 on Z370. You probably won’t need 1.3V to operate at 4.4V. Make sure your VRM isn’t overheating; higher voltage could worsen the issue if it’s already hot.

I updated my bios with preset options such as 'optimized easy overclock' and related speeds. After disabling them, the system returned to its default CPU settings. I set LLC to 1 as recommended, but still experience crashes both in-game and within the tuning app. Occasionally the game runs smoothly, though it might feel idle at certain points. Temperatures stay around 60°C during overclocking, then spike to about 80°C when previously overclocked, while the motherboard reaches roughly 50°C. I’ll keep monitoring these values to confirm consistency.
