ObscureParadox_3XS Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Have you checked temperatures? Is the CPU overheating at all? You could have issues with your loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingExtreme Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 The temperature is fine. Its about 30-32 degrees C at idle and 40-42 at load. And when i try to OC it do not have time to heat up (the temp right after the reeboot is at 30-35 deftees C) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxbassplayerxx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Any OC at all? Or just when you get up closer to 4GHz? What happens if you raise the BCLK up one from BIOS? From Windows using the buttons on the board? Easy Tune 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted February 25, 2016 Crew Share Posted February 25, 2016 Too much socket pressure ? Sure the pump is running ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TASOS Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Take off your waterblock and check the cpu contact. If the cpu heatspreader footprint looks ok , then take of the cpu and check the general condition of the socket pins. If everything looks ok , put everything back and make sure you dont tighten your waterblock too much. Test again your o/c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
