|
 |
I had to turn on the PC around 5 times to get into Windows
I'd either get a blinking cursor on a black screen, or a frozen one.
I was running the 2600k at 4.4ghz since I bought it. I decided to go to 4.6ghz 2 days ago. The temps seem fine. It's not using more than 1.37v at full load.
It's the only thing I've done differently but it seems stable to me. I also played around 5hrs of Alien last night and it crashed twice which it hadn't done before. The night before that I had played ARMA for hours without any issues. It seems like it's the overclock, but from what I can find a lot of people are running it at that speed without any issues.
Any tips?

revert to your older overclock that was stable and see if issues are gone. if problem persists, and i know this sounds harsh for overclockers, you might need to run system on stock settings for a while to make sure that it's only OC that's causing issue and not something else.

Every morning I have issues booting up. 
Anywho, what rgb says is a good start to hunt the problem down.

I dont know if you adjusted the voltage when you went from 4.4 to 4.6ghz, but going from 4.4 to 4.6 isnt just a "mild overclock" and you should need to adjust the voltage accordingly.
It is entirely possible that it runs stable at 1.38v, 1.39v or 1.40v. (or even more) If heat-wise its still ok, why not try more voltage? And if you dont want to adjust voltage, you could just go back to 4.4 and be done with it, since there is not much of a performance gain anyway. (Except for benchmarks)
Then again, normally you dont just set clocks and be done with it. My OCing experience goes from hours of Prime95, IBT, playing Crysis2 etc. until I was sure it was completely stable.
But if it does not even boot correctly then you must really have overdone it a bit. Your CPU should be fine though imo.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Every chip is different, doesnt mean that all 2600K´s will run 4,6Ghz on those settings. Like RGB said, revert your old settings back and see if there is problems anymore.

Maybe its voltage dropping going on and why its intermittent.. The clock probably needs a tiny bit more juice. You should try and see if your motherboard has any voltage issues in overclocking forums.
