On the extreme tweaker tab try raising the cpu system agent voltage to 1.20v - 1.25v.

This will help stabilize your ram if that's what's causing the freezing.

Great to hear a bios update fixed you up and you have a good cpu cooler for overclocking !

Download ROG realbench and use it for stress testing, start with the stress test, select how many GB of ram you have and select duration 15 minutes.

If you don't have a cpu temp monitoring program realtemp 3.70 is good to use.

ROG CPU-Z for cpu voltage monitoring

http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html#version-history


In the bios set the ai overclock tuner to manual, sync all cores and set the cpu core ratio to 47, scroll down and set the cpu core voltage to manual and enter 1.35v in the cpu core voltage override, F10 and enter to save and exit.

Once in windows open up all 3 programs, run the 15 minute stress test and monitor the cpu temps with realtemp and see the voltage is 1.35v in cpu-z. If the temp goes over 90c stop the test.

If temps are good and you pass the test, raise the cpu core ratio to 48 and test again, if you pass try the cpu core ratio at 49. Keep raising it until the test fails then back down the core ratio by 1.

Let me know what you end up with or if you need further help. 🙂

Please use realbench your temps will be much lower with it.

Let me know how far you get and what cpu temps are.

Looking good so far. 🙂
