MSI Afterburner brutal self overclock problem

SteveyMcGinins · May 14, 2016

Hey guys, I don't really find a use in overclocking as for the results I have seen, its only gives you a 9 frame increase and a voided warranty. However I use MSI Afterburner to keep tabs on my temperatures and speeds of my hardware. However, last night I was playing Metro 2033 and it immediately crashed. I opened MSI to check what was going on and the clock/Memory speeds had been increased by over 1000 and they could not be changed back. This all happened after I installed the new Nvidia Driver. So what do I do? I am using a GTX 970 Wind-force, Windows 8 and a non-overclockable skylake i5. Any help would really be Appreciated.

the same thing happened to me only I am overclocking quite modestly and stably, does afterburner no longer display your graphics card and/or the monitoring related to it? for me the only thing that fixes this is updating driver but i worry this will happen every tiem a new driver is released. I hope this issue gets figured out because i know its not because of too much OC. It's clearly on the software end of things

Yeah that's exactly what happens, try restarting your computer twice, that normal works for me
