Result of unusual overclocking at 9700K
I'm dealing with a setup involving my 9700K and an Aorus Pro motherboard. I'm trying to gather some insights on what might be going on. I've managed to upgrade my OC to 5GHz (1.35V) and it successfully passed Prime95 (non-AVX) overnight, TimeSpy Stress Test for 3dmark using an EVGA Hybrid FTW3 2080ti OC'd GPU, and a mem test lasting 8 hours with Corsair Ballistix @3200MHz. Both games I play—division 2 and Wildlands—perform well even after long sessions. However, occasionally every other day, while just browsing in Windows, the system would freeze or crash with no apparent stressor running. My cooling is solid (GPU temps around 55°C, CPU around 60°C), and I've disabled all power-saving modes, opting for Turbo in BIOS. I'm puzzled as to why my machine would hang even when idle.
