Hi guys, I recently (yesterday) decided to overclock my CPU, as i noticed that, even while idle my cpu was running at around 50%. So anyways I go into my bios and set the multiplier to 42 to see if that would help with my problem, up the voltage to 1.25V to make sure the CPU had enough power to reach my multiplier requirements, and All was good with the world
However I noticed that while playing intensive games such as Far Cry 4 or Crysis 3 I was getting huge screen tears that weren't there in the past before I started the overclock. Now I assumed that this was due to my temps being too high so I watched the temps of my CPU and GPU and neither were reaching above 70 degrees. I tried playing a less intensive game such, Just Cause 2 and it straight up crashed giving me a DirectX error code 6. Does anyone know what might be causing these or how i can fix it?
Specs are
Intel Core i5 4690k
16gb ddr3
Asus Maximus VII Hero
GTX 780TI
