Hi g3po

Have you tried the same games on the standard profile as some games just dont like the overclocked components

Played all day Sunday with no problems .. strange ?

[g3po]

Put up with the occasional blue screens but after buying some newer games i.e. Borderlands 2 blue screens we're happening more often so switched overclock off and had no problems whatsoever have been playing like that for some months now and am starting to want to put o.c. back on but would obviously need adjusted somewhere any ideas where i'd start

[technodean]

Remember, not all cpu's overclock the same. My 2500k will run at 4.7 but will fail prime. 4.5 is usually the norm but find that mine personally runs best at 4.2. Remember its the silicone lottery on whether you get that golden chip.

[g3po]

Think i was advised to increase the voltage at one point which had some effect in that it happened less, then later when newer games came out it happened more regularly is this because the newer games push the pc to its limit's more ?

[technodean]

have you run prime 95? if it fails at their 47x setting then take it to 46 etc till prime can run for a few hours without a fail.

[g3po]

put o.c back on and reduced multiplier to 46 ran prime for 2 hours with no probs
thanks so far technodean

[technodean]

crossed fingers for you, good luck, and Merry Christmas. Just keep an eye on your temps.

[g3po]

when running prime 95 temps went to 66 on one core but playing BF3 only get around 61 - 62 is this ok ?

[technodean]

Yea, that's good for a clock of 4.6, max temp is around 72. touch wood, no more blue screens for you.

Hi G3P0

If you are stable at 4.6 there is hardly any perfomance difference from 4.7 if you still get issues let us know and we can advise on some tweaks you can try
