Basically finished a build and started to have PCI... crashes it turned out to be MOBO USB3 related and I finally get to playing games and system crashed again, this time i knew it was GPU as it froze went to blue screen just like my last comp when i tried to OC the GPU. One thing ive gotten it down to is that if I Underclock it cures the crashes, I have to get the speed to 950 from 1020 stock setting with Asus GPU Tweak.

Tried to increase the Max GPU Voltage setting to around 1180s-12xx with stock 1020 GPU Boost and it ran a lot longer but still crashed at lets say 3dMark (but its not game,prog related as it crashes on all) system info v4.33.485.0 just to compare against a known commodity.

Is there any setting in the Extreme6 BIOS i can change that might affect this issue? I tried setting the mem from XMP to changing the parameters manually and no difference don't really know what else i can do or try. Called newegg so they can exchange it or swap it for something comparable but i cut the small piece so i can do the MIR (MAKE SURE everything works before you do a MIR or cut the serial and part and tag off the box) and as result they cant help. This was my first build w/out Asus mobo because when i needed rma 5 yrs ago on a mobo they sent me a "fixed" one, which had what looked like a square inch of toothpaste (p6t). I simply threw it out as i didn't need more head aches, now its same story with GPU. I only recommend EVGA and fractal design, they do everything to help. Asrock is ok but they done speak english.
