I decided to overclock my r7 1700 to 3.7 ghz and found 1.275v core to be stable for an hour on prime95. No crashes or errors. Nothing. Temperatures are good. I cannot for the life of me get it to run at anything beyond 3.7 ghz. Looks like I lost the silicon lottery .
However my system will randomly crash on the desktop in about 5 minutes while browsing or idle. This is a bad crash. I am talking complete system shutdown without a reboot. It just turns the system off with no bluescreen or anything.
I guess my question is can this be a problem with the PSU? It seems odd that a stability test would run fine but idling would cause crashes. I also noticed that while idle the core voltage drops all the way down to 1.25v. Can this be the problem? LLC is set to level 2 btw
System specs:
ASUS Prime-x370-PRO bios 0504
EVGA supernova 750 g2. ECO MODE OFF. I thought this could be the problem but it wasn't
R7 1700
g.skill tridentZ 3200mhz cl16. Running 1.3v 2133mhz for max stability while testing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
