Hello!
I recently tried using Heaven to compare dx9, OpenGL, and dx11. Around the middle of the session, the entire screen changed to an emerald green color. The Ctrl + alt + del shortcut didn’t work, and after a few seconds the screen went black while the monitor entered power-saving mode, though the tower still emitted light. I suspected it might be too much exposure, but I’ve already tested my eyes months ago and had no issues.

CPU: A4-5300 (stock)
GPU: RX 460
GPU clock OCed to 1314 (was 1210). Memory clock OCed to 1800 (was 1750).
Should I reduce the OC despite stability over time? Or is there another issue?
Thanks for your help!

Check if reducing the OC helps. Because of electro-migration, a chip's performance at certain voltages can decline over time. You might need to lower the OC or raise the voltage, which speeds up electro-migration and raises the chance of the chip failing. It depends on what you're comfortable doing. You're not obligated to change anything. Maybe just update your drivers or Windows. But if lowering the OC is an option, it's likely due to electro-migration or excessive heat.

I don't have real-time data on your GPU temperatures under load. To find this information, you can check your GPU's monitoring software or use built-in system tools that display thermal metrics during intensive tasks.

atomicWAR :
What are your temperatures when under load for your GPU? 55-58°C. Fans running at 80%.
