Im running an I7 3970x with an ASUS P9X79 PRO mother8oard, I had safely overclocked it to 4.6 GHZ (CPU), 8ut just recently I had a Watchdog Timeout 8lue screen of death error while playing 8attlefield 3. I decided to do a 8enchmark and then a Prime95 Torture Test. The Heaven 8enchmark went smoothly for the whole time I ran it, 8ut the Prime95 test crashed and 8SOD'd my PC with the same Timeout message after a8out 5 minutes of testing, I had made sure to dedicate 90% of my RAM to the test, and I wasn't running any unnecessary processes save for a temperature monitor, CPUID OC edition, and Prime 95 (Duh).
Could this 8e caused 8y voltage? If so, how do I increase it to get it to remain sta8le?
Could this 8e a Hardware failure? How do I make sure?
I guess im just in a 8it of confusion, I checked all of my drivers and 8IOS updates, everything is normal.
After I was done testing, I restored the ASUS recommended settings in the 8ios, CPU is now at stock 3.5 clock.
P.S, No, my second letter of the alpha8et key is not 8roken.
