Hello community!
Today I started working on my very first overclock, and reached 4.2 GHz with around 1.23-1.25 vcore. It seems that I have quite lousy chip, as I can't even reach stable 4.3GHz unless I go 1.3 (or maybe over). I haven't yet touched any other setting other than core voltage and multiplier.
Getting temps around ~83 degrees celsius with Prime95 running for about an hour. (From what I have read these temps are just fine)
Anyways, if i opened pretty much any program during prime95 i would get a bluescreen. Does this mean I have unstable OC? and if it does, should I not run any programs while prime95 is active?
Using
I5-3670k
Asus z87-a
Thermalright macho HR-02 rev. a
three case fans (one on the front, one on the roof and one on the back)
Thanks for reading
