Stupid question, but did you try gaming on it while over clocking?
I only ask because those synthetics don’t always catch weird anomalies. Like, I thought I had a stable overclock on my RAM until threw a game at it. All I did was Alt+Tab out of the Witcher 3 and it crashed. Bumped down the frequency, then I was fine.

Nice OC.

What cooler you using?

Heaven should have got it since it is rendering something but I do agree. I had issues with bluescreens in some games caused by a GPU driver crash. Eliminated the possibility of a GPU issued Upped the voltage slightly on my CPU and poof gone.

I’ve been running farcry primal and some Arc no problems at all.
