BSOD and crashes to dekstop on many video games

In 1 of the pictures I found a dram seeting and changed it to 4800 it was on auto, i hope its ok

And the second photo is the timings

here is the cpu-z the only different I notice is the 76 and the 77 you mentioned.

That looks perfectly correct.
I said 77 because the online specs I found said that, but the correct settings are reported from CPU-Z, not the spec sheets.

Now make sure the CPU runs precisely at stock, especially the power limits (which may be incorrect at default).

Also I'm curious to see the results from a run of MemTest86, which will tell you which address range is bad if it finds anything. And as Bug was saying, testing with a single stick, can be effective if your test to cause the crash is fairly reproducible, then you'll quickly see if one or both exhibit the problem (if both, then it's probably not the memory as he said).
 
Hey, thanks for helping me with that, how can I find out the what are the stock settings ?

Found out that the PL1 is 125 and PL2 is 253
Changed it to that, it immediatly reaches 100 in cinebench and gets to 91 in 1 of the cores in game.

Now try PL1=PL2=125W, see if that improves stability.
 
Hey, just tried PL1=PL2=125W, did the cinebench, finished it, the 1st time it finished the picture and transitioned to starting the next render it spiked to 88C (for like a second) and on the 2nd time it finished the picture it spiked to 91C.

Usually averaging around 78C-79C
I will go check some games now, tho it should be lower in those games if I am correct, cinebench requires much more power than games.

Fingers crossed. Seems like you got a bad bin that cannot boost much. Either that or Asus' multicore enhancement killed it.
It's perfectly usable constrained at 125W, tho. Just make sure to set PL1 lower than that (something like 85-95W), so it has a chance to cool down some.
 
Just checked the game that causes the most problems, it averages on around 74-76 and goes up to 80 sometimes, I dont know if it is counted as ok... :\

Should I put both to 95 or just PL1

Just PL1. We know it handles 125W just fine, but let's reserve that for when the system truly needs it.
 
Hey, after a while of gaming and mostly watching a series, now my PC only has 5 google tabs, discord and hwmonitor open, averaging 70C like I am gaming... I am not sure what to do, could it be that the CPU just not working well?

After a restart the average drops back down to 48-50... :\

Anyone please could explain me what it could be based on what I tried and maybe propose some solutions? should I buy a new CPU? is there a way to keep gaming with this 1 for like a year or two?

And again thank you all for helping me with this so much !
 
There is something wrong with your cooler. Freezer i35 is a 4 direct heatpipe cooler, it should be performing much better. It is a version of Frezzer 34 cooler and that cooler can handle 180W no problem.

Are you sure it is mounted correctly?
Protective plastic film on the base removed?
Fan connected to the proper fan header?
Fan configured in BIOS properly?
 
I am pretty sure it is mounted correctly, I was looking on many videos installing this fan, and I managed to do it after replacing thermal paste.

There is no protective plastic.

I think it is? I mean the fans are working and when I change their speeds on BIOS they change instantly.

I am not sure what do you mean by configured properly, I can send photos of what I can find about it in BIOS.
 
I second what @BoggledBeagle said. My (power constrained) 12600k + Freezer 34 sits at ~33C (~21C ambient) while surfing the net, your CPU shouldn't be too far from that.

There are two pitfalls I can think of when installing a CPU cooler:
1. Applying too much paste (the right amount is right around where you cannot see through the applies film anymore). Too much paste hinders heat transfer. In time, is will spill over the edges of the CPU, leaving some space between the CPU and the heatsink. That's very, very bad.
2. Screwing the heatsink in place. To screw it properly, you tighten one nut a bit, then tighten the in the opposite corner a bit, then the other two. Rinse and repeat until you cannot tighten them without applying significant force anymore.
