Specs:
Few years ago I OC'd my 3570k to 4.2 Ghz at 1.285v. Compared to other people, my voltages were all over the place, but couldn't get a stable system with lower voltages. Temps during stress testing were hovering around 65 to 72 celsius.
So a while ago I decided to upgrade my W8.1 to W10. Everything seemed to go fine, but I started to get memory_management BSOD errors. I decided to flash the newest version of BIOS to see if it solves the problem. The problem persisted and I had to get a new ram which fixed the problem. The old ram was 2x4GB, DDR3 at 1600MHz. New one I got is Kingston 2x8GB, DDR3 1866MHz.
Flashing obviously clears your bios settings, and I started to overclock my CPU back to it's glory. Weird thing that started happening with the same settings as before was that my computer would shut down without any warning. It wouldn't turn on for like five seconds until it did. I didn't manage to even get to bios until the computer crashed again. This happened a few times and I quickly managed to reset my BIOS to factory settings.
I tried the automatic overclock option on BIOS and the automatic oc would run stable at 4.2Ghz with RAM MHz boosted up too. I decided to revert the settings since I'm not familiar if the automatic oc is safe and if RAM MHz boost would harm my new pair of RAM sticks. Also, the temps were running over 76c.
I would want to reach 4.5 GHz for streaming but have literally no idea if that's even possible with my chip. Right now I'm running stock because I can't even come up with 4.2 GHz.
Am I doing something wrong? I've followed multiple guides online, all give me the same results with the relatively high voltage.
The other thing is that I can't even run my old setup without crashing like a madman even before the BIOS.
