is my oc stable?

megaballzdeep · Apr 10, 2014

the other day i did my first oc and i got it to where i wanted and ran prime 95 small fft test for 12 hours and the blend for 8 and no failures or errors so i thought everything was fine. so i played a game today for first time since oc and i got a blue screen 30 mins in. is that because its unstable?

it is very possible. what are your specs, what did you overclock, how far did you overclock it, how did you overclock it, and what were your temps?

unstable. its likely because the gpu being stressed is adding to the overall electrical stability of the power supply and then through the motherboard. add a little more vcore.

what was the blue screen code?

i go intel burn test set to maximum, one pass. then prime95 small fft 12 hours. then furmark gpu stress combined with prime95 small fft combined with intel burn test set to maximum for one pass, usually takes about an hour as a final test.

we dont even know if this was a gpu overclock or a cpu overclock. some details would really help.

i oc the cpu from 3.5 to 4.0 went into bios and did it manual and i got temps from 49-52 and my gpu came factory oc at 1150MHz but i bumped it up to 1200 im very new to overclocking so could be a tiny thing.

what cpu do you have, and did you increase the voltage at all?

megaballzdeep · Apr 10, 2014

Danbuscus25 :

i kept it at sotck voltages and its a fx 8320 i posted specs above

Danbuscus25 · Apr 10, 2014

ok, well the only part that could cause a problem as far as i can see is if you didnt raise the voltage enough/too much. the fx 8320 can easily go to 4.0, and that mobo is one of the best out there for amd.

Danbuscus25 · Apr 10, 2014

yeah, try raising the voltage by 0.075 at 4.0 ghz (do it in 2-3 steps) and then run prime95.

megaballzdeep · Apr 10, 2014

how long should i run it? running it for liike 12ish hours again sounds not fun haha

nikoli707 · Apr 10, 2014

for now just add a tiny bit of vcore and go back to your game. if you made it through 12 hours of prime and a game caused a cpu related bsod, then it was vcore dropping under load.

Danbuscus25 · Apr 10, 2014

after adding the voltage, run prime95 on the cpu stress intensive one for like an hour or so if there are any problems they should come up by then. or just play a game XD
