i just built myself a new gaming pc about 2 weeks ago and im looking to overclock my cpu i tried to oc my cpu about 3 days ago but it ended up blue screening on me on start up and i had to reset the bios manually not sure if it was jsut a bad cpu or it was something i did(proly what i did lol) i tried to oc the cpu through the Gigabyte bios it has a thing that ocs it quickly and i tried to use the 4.0 ghz one but it caused my pc to blue screen on startup sooooooo any help would be greatly appreciated...
my goal is to get it to a stable 4.0 ghz oc on the stock cooler
iv read online ppl have managed to get my cpu up to 4.6/4.8 but im pretty sure that was on a aftermarket cooler
not sure if this is needed but currently my cpu temps are 35-42 when idle and 45-59 when in game(very rarely does it surpass 55)
