Overclocking and BSoD

Mi-6 — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 07:20:03 GMT

Hello,

Basically I've got a new gaming laptop from Aftershock called Forge15X. Before I go into details of my concerns and my problem, let me share the specs first.

13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i-7 13700H
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR6
32GB DDR5 5600MHZ MEMORY (RUN AT 5200MHZ)

1TB LEXAR NM710 NVME SSD

WINDOWS 11 HOME

So, the concern that I currently have is that when I do intense gaming on a game called Squad or any other game that is intensive, my CPU overclocks and the temperature usually stays around 90 and sometimes spikes up to 97-98, it doesn't drop below 90 that often. Now is this normal or should I be worried?

Enough of my concerns, now here's the problem. I've experienced BSoD where it automatically restarts during gaming for 4 times as of for now. 3 of them were on a game called Squad and one of it was on a game called The Isle.

Any help, advice would be appreciated, thanks!

@DeividA_Intel I saw you telling someone about this and I wish you can help, anyone else can help too !

You have an H processor. Only X and K processors can be overclocked.

You will not find your processor on the list of supported processors for the XTU download page.

Thanks for the additional info, so does that mean its bad when my cpu reaches 90C+ whilst gaming?

And is the BSoD a windows 11 thing or should I be worried on something else?

You are in the wrong forum. A moderator will move your post.
