Overclock programs not showing

[Chris.p]

Hi, I have a i5-2500k (not overclocked) a Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Mobo 16 mg ram Gigabyte GTX 1070 GPU, 128mg Samsung 850 Evo SSD for windows, 500mg SSD for games & a 1TB HD for other stuff, only use the comp for gaming and other household duties.

My problem is that both the CPU overclock program fail to load up, if I delete it from the comp and reinstall, it loads and works for the first time, as soon as I go into it for the 2nd time ity will not open, any ideas???

The GTX 1070 is brand new 2 weeks ago, and the same thing happens to it, do you think the Mobo is at fault??

Cheers in advance.
Chris.

Doesn't help with the graphics card, but cpu overclocking is best done in bios.

Try MSI Afterburner for clocking the 1070 - if you're not dong so already.

And as alluded to by mattyfez - clock the CPU via the BIOS. A moderate clock of 4.2GHz - 4.5GHz should be easily attainable, if you have a semi-decent third party cooler, by a simple multiplier tweak and manual voltage bump (loads of guides on the net/youtube and these forums). You could go for 4.2GHz using the stock cooler.
