PC Build:
I7-7820x CPU
Asus Strix 980 Ti OC Edition
Asus Strix ROG E-Gaming Motherboard
Corsair H115i AIO
32GB G Skill TridentZ DDR4
960 Pro M.2 SSD 512GB
EVGA 850 G3 PSU
Thermaltake View 71 TG Case
Ive had this PC built and running good for a few weeks before I finally started to overclock.
So Ive decided to overclock my PC this morning, running into a few problems along the way:
Accidently turning off the Turbo option which prevented me from actually bumping up my Core Clock and had thermaltakes fan software overriding my Corsair Link fan curves only allowing them to spin up to 800 RPM.
Once Ive finally figure out these issues a few hours have passed by and I finally set my base overclock to start at 4.5Ghz at 1.25v.
Ran Aida64 for 10 minutes on the CPU stress test option. Temperature reached a max of 91*C
I lowered my voltage to reduce the heat to 1.20v. Ran it again and temps maxed at 77*. More in my comfort zone.
Ran Cinebench R15, temp reached 104*C towards the end. Scared me a little because Ive never seen such high temps before. Ran the test again, same results. Thought I would run a quick game of PUBG to see how it runs and it was horrible, stuttering/lagging 5-50 fps. I closed it out quick with confusion, it was supposed to be running better, not worse.
Noticed my computer was running pretty crappy overall so I reset my BIOS settings to default and load back into windows. Still crappy, did a windows update, Video Card update, all drivers are up to date, Virus scan, system restore to a previous day, updated bios.
Had to boot up with one stick of ram after the bios update and didnt properly seat one of the sticks as it wasnt lighting up so quickly shut down and properly seated them all.
With intel 3.0 I am suppose to see up to 4.5 on 2 cores and I did before I started to alter my overclock. Now I only see 3.99Ghz according to Intel Extreme Tuning Utility with everything set to default. Ive ran Cinebench at factory settings and it scores great, (1661-1684).
I cannot figure out why my computer is running like crap, is it possible that Ive ruined the CPU when it reached the 104*C even though it benchs fine?
Im really lost at this point and am looking for some help.
