Windows stops working after increasing performance settings
Windows stops working after increasing performance settings
My CPU runs an i5-9600K overclocked at 4.9GHz (stable) with auto voltage and max power at 1000W (default 95W), never exceeding 65°C. At 5.0GHz it boots but Windows 10 often crashes after I enter my password. The motherboard is a Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X, which has both an 8-pin and a 4-pin connector, while my 650W PSU only supports one 4+4 pin connector. Which issue is the problem:
a) Voltage must be adjusted manually
b) The 4-pin connector is necessary
You haven't altered the voltage at all? I'm surprised you achieved stable at 4.9ghz using the standard voltage. What voltage level does your motherboard require for stock VCORE? The single 8-pin connector is sufficient for any overclocking possible on water or air. It only becomes useful in extreme cases, such as pushing beyond 5ghz with advanced cooling methods like LN2 or dry ice.

Yes, the motherboard automatically adjusts the voltage. You should begin testing at the default voltage it sets.
