Hello guys so I made my computer on Monday and I decided to wait just a little bit before I start overclocking so I did. I waited till today and I have a g3258 CPU with a stock cooler on it and asus z97-c motherboard. I went to my bios (had to update because I couldn't overclock) Went on sync all cores, went to 4.4ghz, 1.250v and went into windows. I had no crashes running prime95 for almost 30 minutes and rock solid temperature of 75 on load and about 33? on idle. I quickly ran to Voltage ratio switched from Manual to Adaptive mode (as Linus says it's best in his overclocking guide in the video) and once I went to boot into windows it crashed horribly. Went back in bios and I forgot to put my offset voltage to 0.050, still crashed. I made a thread on Linus' forum about it and they told me to set my Load Line Calibration to Low. My motherboard only has Regular - Medium - High - Very High - Extreme so I went with regular (being the closest to low) .. the results were bad I had a weird bluish crash before i booted to desktop (not blue screen of death) and didn't try anything else. I got kinda scared tbh cause I've been tweaking with the cpu a lot and I set it back to it's stock speed 3.2ghz. I'm new to overclocking and I'm not an expert by any shape or form but I get really good at it if someone explains it to me or shows. What do you guys think? What do I have to do to get it work through Adaptive mode and will it hurt my CPU if I keep tweaking it like that?
