Restarting during boot after overclocking
Hello.
The system specifications are as follows:

A few days back I chose to push my CPU and GPU overclocking for extra performance, right?
I managed to OC the 1070 GPUs without issues, and they stayed stable.
For the CPU, I used a Gigabyte auto-tune tool that gradually increased core clock speeds from 33 and performed stress tests, eventually suggesting 4.4Ghz with a voltage around 1.25V.
After restarting, the changes disappeared, so I tried overclocking via BIOS instead. That worked successfully.
I also ran Aida and Asus Realbench tests for about half an hour each, with no issues. Maximum temperatures reached around 92°C, and performance remained stable during long sessions in 3D programs, staying between 60-70°C under load.
After turning off the PC and restarting the next day, it would automatically boot into BIOS, where it recommended optimized settings.
I applied those settings and everything loaded perfectly.
When I tried overclocking again through BIOS, it failed to boot. I also left the voltage on Auto mode without success, and even tried 4.3Ghz but it didn’t work.
What do you think is going on? The temperatures have always been normal and below 80°C, and I could hear the Hyper 212X running at full speed during startup (as usual until Windows loads). So overheating seems unlikely.
Thank you for your help!
Thanks in advance.
My thoughts on overclocking have always been if you don't have to bump up the clocks i wouldn't. Unless you need it i would bump your clocks down untill it stops. I really dont know much else.
My views on overclocking have always been if you don't need to increase the clocks, I wouldn't. Unless you require it, I would lower them until they stabilize. I don’t know much else.
That’s reasonable but I also want to understand precisely what’s causing the issue before losing the extra performance, since this seems a bit unusual. If it wasn’t designed to run at 4.4Ghz, why didn’t it appear in stress tests? This leads me to suspect there might be another problem.
Consider revisiting the stock and then gradually increase the manual overclocking. Raise the voltage and clock speeds incrementally, performing stress tests using something like 95 as a reference point after each adjustment.
