Ok so i recently got an FX 8370 (new and cheap), because my older AM3 board with a Phenom II x6 1055T was dying.
Now i had a stable overclock on the FX 8370 (4.5 Ghz) and on my Sapphire R7 370 2GB (Core: 0.995- 1.1Ghz, Memory 1.4- 1.5 Ghz) for about 2 weeks, no problem at all, but than i started to notice performance drops withing a few games i was playing. So i set back both my CPU and GPU to stock speeds and ran a few benchmarks, the tests results seemed normal. Than i overcloked my CPU back to 4.5 Ghz with the same settings and voltages than before and it's just not stable? I was like ok, i'll set it back to stock and test my GPU. I overclocked my GPU back up to 1.1 and 1.5 and ran a benchmark and the scores were lower than they were without the OC? Am i underpowered? I am using a 700 W power supply (it's not the best but it should work fine: https://www.inter-tech.de/en/products/psu/atx/sl-700), if i am why was the OC on BOTH the components working fine for 2 weeks, without any problems, the temps were fine, no crashes, fps increase etc.?
My specs: CPU:AMD FX-8370 GPU: XFX R7 370 2GB MOBO: Gigabyte 970A-DSP3 RAM: Corsiar DDR3 2x4 GB 1600 Mhz SSD: Kingston SUV400 240 GB HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA050 500 GB
