So I have "overclocked" my system, I use overclock in the loosest sense as this amounts to fixing the clock speed and turning off EIST. I have an i7 4790k and have fixed the clock speed at 4.2ghz, well within the processors capabilities as it is water cooled (Corsair H100i). Motherboard is a MSI z97 gaming 5.
I have stress tested the setup with intel's extreme tuning utility, over 2 hours the processor settles at 60 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately after reboot the system becomes unstable and crashes normally after about 10 minutes, even if just sat at the desktop. This sends me to the bios automatically on restart. It changes none of the settings and as soon as I save and exit again the system is stable and can handle another 2 hours of stress testing.
Not game breaking but I wonder if this is damaging my machine? obviously I can just go into the bios every time I boot and save the settings but this isn't an ideal solution.
