Right I seem to be getting bad benchmarks and when I try to overclock then the system crashes using MSI afterburner to clock the GPU the cpu is clocked at 4600 via bios and seems stable and I get great temperatures as the whole system is water-cooled and has two radiators and five fans. My Heaven 4.0 benchmark is 1788 and I have seen people get high 4k so what am I doing wrong please? this mark is not gpu overclocked only cpu as the system freezes when I try to clock the gpu.

Bare in mind I have had a 20 odd year pc hiatus and have only built this in the last six months and only just trying to oclock. So I am no pc genius very much the opposite.

Thanks in advance
