Hi, I have this issue where my pc shuts off in the middle of games. I just replaced my old gtx 1070 with a evga 1080 ftw. My specs currently are an i5 4690k @4.4 boosts to 5.5ghz, a evga gtx 1080ftw, corsair 750w gold+ psu, 16gb of 1600 ddr3, c drive is a ssd. I watch my temps and my cpu doesn't get higher than 60° and my gpu doesn't get higher than 65°. My brother is having similar issues with his new pc and we don't know what is happening. Please help

I have a STRONG feeling that its the 5.5GHz boost speed. That is an insane boost number to go for on a that CPU. I am running a 4790k CPU and have it OC'd to 4.6GHz on all cores all the time. But It doesn't go any higher. The only 4690k's Ive heard go that high were cooled by Liquid Nitrogen.

Well im not really sure tbh, my task managerr says base click is 4.4ghz which is what I overclockes too, but I noticed it took a unusually high voltage for this, I believe it was 1.298v and I saw others were getting 4.4ghz at around 1.120v. When I look at task manager it says base clock of 4.4ghz and at 100% it says it is running at 5.5ghz, I have it water cooled and there is no overheating, but when I had the 1070 it worked just fine i haven't touched my cpu speed...

Na, 1.298v is fine for a relatively stock 4690k. I am at 1.82v @ 4.6GHz. Every CPU is slightly different so that could be perfectly fine for you. I just think 5.5GHz is nuts. And that should just be a quick change in your bios. You'd juts have to find the turbo boost setting in your bios and change it to something a lot closer to 4.6Ghz.
