Was wondering this as i have a AMD FX-6350 @ 3.9 with a MSI 760GM-51 FX mb, stock clock speeds and cool n quiet is enabled, i go to over clock it, had it at 4.2, wanted to listen to some music and all of a sudden i get this stuttering of the music and it is just unplayable, downloaded dpclat and sure enuff the latency was really high in the red reaching over 23k or higher at some points, so i was wondering if overclocking had something to do with it, as then i would put every thing back to stock speeds and the latency went away, also to mention while overclocking i did disable the cool n quiet and the dpc lantency wa the same.
Can overclocking a cpu cause dpc latency?

I actually can not remember if the CPU was throttling or not, if I did disable Cool n Quiet, what other options would cause it to throttle, power saving options in the mb? or like the power management in Window. I do have a Antec Khuler h20 950 liquid cooler on it and i know the temps are not high enuff to cause problems. Do not know if this matter but i did up the CPU multiplier in the bios so i would not overclock the memory, just to try it, do not know if that would make a diffence, so just throwing it out there to let you know.
Don't guess; monitor the CPU with AMD Overdrive. The fact that you use a liquid cooler only makes it worse for the poor VRM that no longer gets enough air to cool it properly; it may be fine at stock speed, but it may have to throttle the CPU at high loads.
I actually just gave you the wrong mb that i am using with the AMD FX-6350, the mb that i am actually using is Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 not that it will make a difference. I don't know maybe i will just keep it at stock speeds as to help the poor VRM.
It makes a big difference because that motherboard has a good VRM and it shouldn't throttle your CPU. That being said, you still need to monitor your system to determine what's different when the issue occurs; you definitely want to make sure the CPU doesn't throttle, the memory is running at its expected frequency, etc.
