I've been trying to push my overclock a bit higher. Everything is the same as my previous stable setting, except for cpu multiplier going from 37 to 38. I was expecting to get a blue screen, but instead I get a hardware failure message first. Before, the failure message the cpu usage graph starts to dip. I have stress cpu, fpu, cache, and ram enabled. Could changing the core multiplier cause instability in any of the other components?
Stable settings:
Strap: 125
Cpu multiplier: 37
Uncore multiplier: 33
Ddr4 xmp: 3000 xmp settings
System specs:
Rampage v extreme
I7 5930k
Gskill ddr4 3000 4 x 8 gig
