Hi,
My Pc freezes when overclocked.
Tried a lot of different settings & it would still freeze even at Idle/basic usage(Internet browsing).
Set my manual voltage to 1.39(which it showed as stock) & my CPU ratio & multi both @ stock(turbo, spread spectrum disabled & LLC Enabled), & it still freezes.
I tried reducing memory frequency, tried with just one stick of ram; still froze.
Thought it was a bad chip & got it RMA'd, it turns out the CPU was fine.
Ran my new chip @4.2GHz @1.38v. Completed 10 runs of IBT on Standard, played Metro 2033 for over an hour.
I Quit the game, started internet browsing & it froze.
Now I know my board is not good for overclocking, but I 'm not aiming for a high overclock. I believe this board should be able to at least a mild overclock.
Any thoughts/Help?
Thanks in advance![]()
