Overclock than crash

[maigon]

I have a problem, If i overclock with msi afterburner, rdr2 is crashing.
No overheating. Gpu is on 70 and cpu on 78
No problems in other games.
IS there a reason or is it the game?

This game doesn't like overclocking.
Although, 78 on CPU is not that great temp, unless it's AMD.
Still, it is one of the more demanding ones and "other games" doesn't tell much, just like lack of specs.

Its a laptop cpu and idle is 90. Get these temps with a ext cooler.

Wow, yea don't overclock laptops, most can't handle the power requrement and crash. It shouldn't idle at 90C, that's throttling limit, especially if it's doin it basically idle. Clean it out.

That said, until the latest drivers overclocking my 1070 would lead to crashing (or at least it played longer w/o the +50).

Ok thx i think You are right with the Power, maybe the supply is too low.
Thx

Check out HWINFO. It will tell you the status of the CPU. Lists power limits, critical, thermal, TjMAX etc. It does the same for GPU status'.

He must be doing something wrong with temp monitoring.
Because what's other explanation for idle temp being higher than temp under load?

Laptop itself can be a pain to play games, but overclocked one?
I don't know why even do that.

You are right idle is on 50 not 90. Sorry
Was on 99, with extern cooler 70-90.

I will check this out. Thx

Specs? Overclocking a laptop? Some kind of joke? WTH would you want to do that for? And you never need to overclock for video game purposes that's just absurd.

Agree on the laptop OC but doesn't compute at all, you should ALWAYS OC, it's free processor capacity up for grabs. Making more cores doesn't equal faster clock cycles. Faster is faster, period.

This game is hell on gpu overclocks even stable ones crash on this game for a lot of people still.

Well yea, if your'e on a desktop with plenty of thermal headroom. Most laptops are designed to as hot as safely possible so they can be as thin/light/pack as much hardware. If your laptop running 100% load was still say in the 60'sC it would be differant than 90C....

You'd understand if you ever owned a highish end laptop. Even if the main temps are high, the vrms will throttle/cause performance dips.

I mean't just that, sry tired and Finnish here so it came out like you should oc always. Yes, if you have a build pc and not some Dell ready to go ♥♥♥♥, you should always oc.

Maybe it's bad overclock? It doesn't only take too high temp for bad overclock

Faster? Lmao, you're talking about video games right? You gain a small amount when it comes to video games.

Overclocking is for pros. You try to get the highest benchmark and compete with other overclockers. It's a sport. It's competitive.

Overclocking for video game purposes is what posers do. Since the gear made nowadays should have no trouble running games, making overclocking completely unnecessary.

I used to overclock a lot, until I realized how useless it is. The gains you get aren't worth it. And notice the marketing for it on all the packaging. "Supports overclocking", don't fall for these marketing gimmicks. And notice how they void your warranty even though they make tools and declare it supported.

If so good and supported, then why do they void your warranty for performing an overclock? Because they know you want it it but at the same time they know it's not safe, so bye bye warranty.

Don't fall for these PC gimmicks that are easy to spot.
