Hey guys, this was my first overclocking attempt.
I'm running the stock Wraith cooler and trying to bump up my CPU from 3200 to 3700. I've put the volts on the low end at 1.25
With this setting it's finally showing the correct speed where previously that was not the case in CPU-Z. I run Cinebench fine but when performing a stress test after 2 min it crashes.
Temperature is barely going above 40 at around 42 during stress test so I doubt it's the cooler.
Is the crashing due to my lower CPU voltage levels therefore when under stress it doesn't have enough n shuts down?
Most guides say 1.3-1.35V is best for the 1600.
PC Specs are:
R5 1600
ASRock B350 Pro 4
Corsair Vengeance 16gb 2666 (only running at 2133)
GTX 1060 6gb
Any help would be appreciated as I'm new to this and still learning. Thanks!
