Hi

Been trying to overclock my 5960x cpu 68c max out at 4.5ghz ..If I doing any stress testing with added volts on cpu the computer blue screens and even though temps are very low the pc still blue screens .

My question is ..I'm pretty sure my PSU is in ECO mode . Will this stop my overclock and of course not give me the power to overclock?

I really hope this is the problem as Ive spent thousands building this custom rig and my alienware with same chip that I'm using now got 4.4ghz stable at 1.30v on a single 120mm closed loop ..Im now using a dual pump and 2 x 480mm and 8 pressure fans .

Thanks for the help im advance .

    Hello,
     
    you most likely just have an unstable overclock. The psu in eco mode will function no differently than the psu with eco mode turned off. Eco mode simply waits for 50% load or 50*C before turning on the fan.

    Has to be a bad PSU then ..as I've had this same CPU running stable at 4.4ghz at 1.3v and that was in my Area 51 R2 alienware and on a 120mm closed loop with temps around 78c..im now using 2x 480mm rads and a top end dual DDC 3.2 pump and a very expensive MSI Godlike motherboard. .and I'm getting 68c on cpu at 4.375mhz and then it fails after 20 mins or less ..

    What BSOD code are you seeing in your Event Viewer?

    Color me highly skeptical. Almost everything except for the CPU changed, yet you blame the power supply? That seems like the least likely culprit in a system which is otherwise working flawlessly. CPU age and CPU voltage requirement related to age, CPU socket contact, motherboard voltage regulation, BIOS settings, fine-tuning, RAM, .... All these things seem like a much more valuable use of your time while trying to track the cause down.

    My thinking is that the vCore is too low and is why I asked for the error code. My guess is that it is BCC 124.

    Run WHMonitor to check your Volts ---see if they are stable --- (see my signature for info)
     
    Do you have XMP running on your RAM?  ------ Turn it off ----
     
    Set Ram manually with NO OC  ---- Use Auto everywhere except the Voltage --- set to mfg spec
     
    Are you manually OC or using MB auto OC ?
