So, after a few long months of owning my beastly new PC, I figured that I've been sitting here at my desk all this time with an unlocked CPU and a massive liquid cooling loop by my side. I figured "Hey, why would I even get such a high-performance cooling solution if I'm not even overclocking my CPU?" Then I thought "And since all the cool kids are doing it these days, it can't be so bad, right?" So anyways, I need a few helpful hints to get started, or somebody who is really experienced to convince me NOT to step into the perilous minefield that is OverClocking.
Currently, my highest temps in Prime95 are no higher than 72 degrees.
The chip uses 1.26v at full load, and I have the vCore set to Auto in the Bios.
The most common BSOD error I've had while going with the factory overclock from CyberPower (Which I gave up due to instability) was 0x124. If I'm correct, this means lack of vCore, right? Well, I didn't know this at the time, so I just dropped the overclock.
Now, the jitters from that experience are gone, and I am ready to start overclocking the right way! Besides, if you want something done right, ask the experts on Tom's, am I right?
Well, that's all from me for now! I patiently await any help I can get, because overclocking is a delicate matter!
