I'm fairly new to overclocking and could use some advice. Just built my 5820k rig with an Asus X99-A board. I used the 5-Way Optimization feature to overclock my cpu, which landed at 4.609. I've tried a couple of games and everything has been solid. Ran 3D Mark and my pc crashed due to cpu overheating.
Should I scale back the overclock due to this? If it runs fine in my games and only crashes on a stress test like 3D Mark is that ok or should I be concerned? If I need to reduce the overclock, what would you recommend? Should I just reduce the ratio for my 6 cores from 46 to something lower and keep everything else the same? Currently it is:
BCLK: 100.2
Ratio: 46
CPU Cache Ratio: 30x
CPU Core Voltage
Offset Voltage: .075
OC Voltage: 1.225
