As per the title, my 8700K fails with a BSOD after a couple of minutes of Realbench.

I've been trying to find a stable OC since receiving the Chip and Maximus X but have not.

As a last resort, cleared the bios (on the latest) stuck every at default and thought well lets see if its stable at stock - its not.

Do you guys think its duff or is it possible that I have forgotten how to build a machine?

Any help or suggestion will be gratefully received.
 
Memory where running in my old Ryzen build. They are currently set to default 2166 to rule them out. Did not catch the blue screen error message as the machine bsod'd a rebooted right away.

Also noticed that the CPU is asking for and getting 1.38v stock all cores at 4.3Ghz. That does not sound right either.
 
Thanks @String

Just doing further tests. I have a feeling it is\was Afterburner. Just stopped the process and it appears to be ok. No OC on th GPU, just a custom fan curve.

Watch this space.
 
Ah yes. I remember realbench causing havoc on my ryzen build. Turned out it was Nvidia drivers/afterburner. Uninstall all unnecessary programs and try again.
 
Well it has just passed an hour with Afterburner uninstalled. Greer.

At least the CPU is good. Next I may blow Windows away and reinstall and this time forgo the Afterburner installation.

Cheers guys!
 
Having applications open that poll devices can cause instability to appear sooner. However, the way AfterBurner polls NVAPI has been known to cause issues when the system is loaded in such a way that saturates the memory bus.
 
Afterburner is known to cause conflicts and crashes with realbench , mostly luxmark issues. You don't need to uninstall afterburner, just turn it off when using realbnch...problem solved.
 
Windows 10 updates, especially feature updates, have regularly caused problems with Afterburner and HWiNFO64 on my system. Best to uninstall them and install the latest versions every few months, or if you know a big feature update has come in, do it then.
