how do I pass early gpu overclock job?
https://imgur.com/a/ZEx1Vxi
So, I did all the requirements, cleaned it, put all Arctic both CPU cooler and fans but somehow it still gives me one star. So I tried with OCCT and yes, it is a problem with Crossfire, but you can see in the pic, I'm only lvl8 but gpu overclock will be unlocked at lv13. So, do I need to keep this job until I managed to unlock GPU oc at lv13 or is there anyway around?

that job you posted only requires replacing the cpu and air cooler. Did you perchance put thermal grease on the cpu after replacing or remember to plug the cooler in. In replace jobs you should never have to do overclocking of any type.

I had the same issue I made a post and the only response I got was sorry tough luck


My original post:

Unsolvable BSOD (answered)
So I'm on a lvl 9 requirement job. On hard mode. I'm lvl 11. And I have 3 days to complete job.

The email came from youngsteeple@steeple...something guys or gals name is -Jamie. Signed on bottom of email. I say all this because I found the problem was the power that was bad, but when I turned the job in. He said that I didn't stress test it. So I got 1 star. I restarted at last save and tried again.

I OCed it and it blue screened. So I know the problem based on the BSOD message that is has to do with the GPU. So I removed the GPU and they both say that is his property so I cant change them out. The liquid cooler is good to and It also is his property. He has 2 different GPUs but they are compatible. The problem is I think one is OCed, but I don't have gpu tuner yet. Cause thats a lvl 13 software. I have literally tried everything, and when I remove one gpu its fine, but I cant turn the job in without his stuff being in the PC.

any tips?

He is using:
ASUS ROG Strip Radeon RX570 OC edition,

MSI Radeon RX570 Gaming 4G

His original power supply was a 550w Silverstone it was broken, i replaced with same...still BSOD..i tried to replace with a 700w power unit, but still BSOD.

The error code was:

"Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout"

...I put in a 700w the largest one and it still didn't work

I just tested this in free build and it runs about 363 watts so even if it was ocd thered be room for it in the 550 watt power supply. Just to test go to the bios and factory reset the pc. Although parts shouldnt be oced from the start.

That doesn't make a difference thats just the card type. It has only a 20 mhz difference than the msi one. I've also ran both these stable no issues in free build like i said at 363 watts. Even tried changing the positioning of the cards and it made no difference.

Ok and when I run OCCT it shows the GPU overclocked at 104.% I dont have gpu tuner unlocked yet and no matter what I did nothing would help. So i just accepted the 1 star.

Yea thats what I thought too, and I was questioning why it wasnt working, but it kept BSOD and thats y I am assuming its a bug and the only way to counter the bug was to get GPU tuner...which I couldnt. do it in time for the job.

BTW is this on the epic version of the game? I'm noticing a lot of problems recently popping up after it went free that I can't even seem to recreate in the steam version. Maybe some kind of update difference maybe?

Here's the video, I tried to do everything as the information gave. But as you can see in the video, nothing work, unless you use GPU tuner which unlocks at lv13. Yes, I'm currently playing on Epic.
