USB devices are dropping out.
USB devices are dropping out.
After adjusting my CPU settings, I've observed that my USB devices are frequently disconnecting in certain games. While using AI Suite 3 for overclocking has been stable overall, these devices still cut out intermittently. I've experienced similar issues before manually overclocking, suggesting a potential power-related concern. My system specs include a 5960X at 4.2GHz, 1080Ti graphics, 32GB RAM, and a Corsair AX1200i PSU. The power supply appears efficient, yet the problem persists. USB peripherals such as the mouse, keyboard, and headset all shut down abruptly, with lights dimming before failure. In Rainbow Six: Siege, this occurs roughly every 3-4 minutes. I've updated drivers, reinstalled USB controllers, and verified the overclock settings, but the issue remains unresolved. Any suggestions?
basically, it means your OC is unstable
it can appear in many forms, not just crashes, BSODs, or boot failures, but also improper system behavior... such as USB problems
you might increase the CPU voltage slightly or reduce the multiplier a bit
also, I usually suggest using manual BIOS overclocking instead of software fixes

Hmm. It's odd that after doing a manual overclock the same problem occurred. Maybe this chip is just a failure of the silicon lottery...
it would imply the manual OC wasn't completely stable either.
Best to reset everything to the default settings in the BIOS and begin anew.
As you mentioned, your CPU might not be a strong overclocker, but it's still worth trying again from scratch.
With any modifications, always ensure your BIOS is current.

Your CPU may not be a strong overclocker, but it's okay to try again from scratch. Always ensure your BIOS is up to date when doing any OC. Thanks for the advice.
