My 6 month old rig, which I believe I first overclocked back in November, has been giving me some problems lately. I'm a bit nervous of the health of my internal components due to BSOD's I've been getting over the past few days.
Please bare with this long read.
I've been getting BSODs lately and Windows 7 Ult (64bit) tells me it's hardware related. The first time it happened recently, I was in an idle Skype call and i got the BSOD. It happened a second time while I was on Skype about two days later so I got worried. The first thing I did was run a stability test on Intel Burn Test on Maximum, which came back stable. Due to my H70 seemingly not working as good as it's supposed to, I was still on edge because my temps during the test were around 67 - 74 degrees. After the test, the next day I rearranged the two H70 fans and pump, case fan that is connected to my motherboard, the case fan was fine. The two H70 fans were formerly plugged into a two-to-one adapter that allowed me to stick both in one fan slot on my mobo, but in splitting them apart one of them was blowing well below it's 2K rpm speed I've gotten in the past (more below).
*PC Probe II Temps*
Even after the rearrangement of my fans the temps were the same.
On stress test around 67-74 (IBT-Maximum and Prime95 blend) idle 32 - 39 (depending if my room window is open with decent airflow)
So I'm still messing around with my rig, knowing that I need new H70 fans, but I'm trying to assure myself that my temps are safe enough to use my rig without worrying about damaging components. I run more Prime95s and I get similar load temps and upper 30 idles.
Here is what happened today: I did MemTest 3.40 on my ram and got 8 passes after about 4 1/2 hours. I ran Prime95 In-place large FFT for the first time and I got to a max of about 75 after maybe 12mins before my computer BSOD'd.
My PSU Volts shown by PC Probe II usually fluctuate depending if I'm on load or idle.
Vcore 1.24
3.3v 3.28 - 3.30
5v 5.02 - 5.07
12 12-25 - 12.42
This is the template I used for my i7 OC (i7 930 W/ Hyperthreading). Link My memory is currently underclocked below just below that speed show in the template, at around 1156.
here is my part of my rig:
Mobo: Asus P6x58D-E
CPU: i7 930 OC 4.Ghz
Memory: Corsair VS2GB1333D3 (2 X 2GB) Stock Speed 1333mhz
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP (600 Watt)
EVGA GTX 460 768mb OC CC-850 MC-2000
I have the logs for my BSOD but I'm not sure exactly what I should post.
Please help, thanks for reading.
Note: While I was running Prime95 today before the BSOD, Real Temps GT showed my cores at around 80-83 while PC Probe II was around 73-75.
IGNORE MY OLD SIGNATURE. Thanks
