Hello everyone,
About 2 weeks ago I reached a stable 4.4 ghz with my 4670k at about 1.259 vcore (1.2614 under heavy load).
However, since yesterday it has lost its stability, crashing with a medium load (like unintensive games).
As I changed the settings in the BIOS I decided to try to run at 1.25 vcore (which in the past was enough only for the lightest of loads) and to my amazement, it runs stable!
I haven't changed anything from the first attempt and now I am completley confused.
For short, I have no idea why I lost stability, or why reducing the voltage re-granted it.
Can anyone explain this?
Thanks.
Additional info:
Motherboard: Asus ROG Gene VI
Overclocking in manual mode (no offset or adaptive), with LLC set at max (tested max vcore at 1.2614)
550w seasonic bronze rated PSU (~6 months old)
note: temperatures never exceed 72C, even when stress testing.
