I don't get it. I screw with it and screw with it and each time it gets a little better...
I was running 20% O.C. until it crashed at midnight, literally.
Restart, crash...
WTF.
Take the oc off and it isn't crashie, at least right now.
But I tested and stressed it and called it every dirty name in every language I know.
And it doesn't crash when I am gaming, it crashes when I am streaming and there are a minimum of resources being used.
I don't have my GPU oc'd, so it isn't that...
All I can figure is my OC that I have spent hours and days tweaking still isn't quite right.
So where do I start?
Ok, maybe thats a bad question. Let me rephrase that.
How do I figure out why it is crashie? I cranked up the voltage by .0125 which is +2 clicks higher than it was with the exact same results.
I didn't get the opportunity to re test it yet as I turned the oc off.
Realistically I can get almost 30% oc out of it. I have the PSU and the cooling.
I have RAM that tops out at 2400 but my board only takes 2133, so I use the xmp profile.
FWIW, I have only been adjusting the CPU voltage cuz IDK what the rest are really.
If it didn't crash at the worst times ever I wouldn't know there was an issue because right up until it freezes and refuses to do anything at all, it works just fine.
Freezing is what I am calling crashie. The mouse and keyboard quit responding. unplugging and repluging doesn't help.
TIA!

Bump. Still having this issue.
Yesterday and today both. I am streaming tv while gaming. I turn my game off and start surfing. I get done surfing, so I close the extra web pages and go to watch on demand and the whole computer just freezes.
Same thing happened yesterday. Only instead of watching on demand I was trying to watch the science channel.com.
Is this indicative of a bad overclock despite hours of testing? Is it a hardware failure fixin' to happen?
FWIW I am still fully updated.

Have you looked for a memory leak? It's possible, if some software is causing a memory leak, the OC is causing it to become a problem sooner than when not OCed. Like maybe one memory bank is more prone to problems. Just a random thought but I've heard of stranger things happening.

memory leak?
I have used memtest 86 to stress and verify my RAM.
Are you talking about something different?

Try the RAM with OUT the XMP, just set it to the 2133 and manually set the timings and see if it last any longer.
Leak is when a browser/program will keep hogging the RAM and try using it all up
Seen that with some streaming in Firefox it will use up 10Gb or more in some tabs.
It's just something that happens sometimes

Like ravin said a memory leak happens when a program keeps using more and more memory. Usually caused by a bug where the program doesn't properly release allocated memory back to the OS.
