r/OCCT
Stable timings for a non-xmp ram on an amd platform
Quick specs:
R7 9800x3d
X870 aorus elite
2x24gb rated up to 8200mhz cl38 (SK-Hynix die, only certified to intel expo)
1200w platinum psu
I’ve been trying to tune it to have two viable profiles. A cl28, 6000mhz tuning and a cl38 8000mhz config. I cant even get past boot with the cl28. What am I doing wrong?
Ive been reading the instructions and researching all overclocking guides and I am still having a hard time. Any help is appreciated.

R5 7500F + RTX 5060 system resets on sudden load drop (OCCT Power Test STOP / Game lobby transition)
Hi everyone,
I recently built a new system and I'm facing a very specific hard-reset issue. I'd appreciate any insights from experienced builders.
System Specs:
- Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B650M-R
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
- RAM: Patriot Viper Venom 16 GB DDR5 6000 CL30
- SSD: WD Blue SN5100 500 GB NVMe SSD
- CPU Cooler: MSI MAG COREFROZR AA13
- GPU: MSI RTX 5060 8G Ventus 2X OC White
- Case & PSU: VENTO VG15FE Case + FSP 650W 80+ PSU
- OS: Windows 11
The Issue: The system is 100% stable under continuous heavy load. Prime95, FurMark, and stress tests run for hours without any crashes, thermal throttling, or voltage issues.
However, the system hard-resets immediately when the heavy load drops to idle (load-release transition):
- Clicking the STOP button during an OCCT power test.
- Transitioning from an active match back to the main lobby/menu in games (e.g., CS2).
- Sudden graphical load drops in game menus.
During the reset, the case lights and fans stay powered on (no full power loss), but Windows instantly restarts. Event Viewer only shows generic Kernel-Power (Event ID 41) with no minidumps or MCE logs.
Context: I don't have spare components (PSU/GPU) to isolate the faulty hardware, and my 14-day return window is running out soon.
- Has anyone experienced a similar load-release / transient load reset issue?
- Is this more likely a PSU transient response / voltage overshoot issue (FSP PSU failing to stabilize voltage when dropping load), or a GPU power delivery / VRM fault or something else?

Unstable RTX 5070 Ti overclock
Hello everyone, I need your help determining whether my GPU might have a minor hardware fault or not.
I bought this GPU about 6 months ago, and during these 6 months I have been experiencing some strange artifacting and nvlddmkm errors. They don't happen frequently and seem to occur randomly, maybe once a month.
I explained my issues in detail in this thread on this forum:
Thread: "RTX 5070 Ti - Rare artifacts, should I RMA?"
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/rtx-5070-ti-rare-artifacts-should-i-rma.350702/
Anyway, I contacted MSI support and explained all of my issues to them in detail. They told me that these were driver/rendering issues and not a problem with the GPU itself.
So I decided to overclock the GPU to see how well it could handle an overclock.
At first, I increased the core clock by +150 MHz and played games for several hours, as well as running OCCT, without any problems at all.
Then I decided to overclock the memory by +1000 MHz. I played Cyberpunk 2077 for about an hour, including police chases, gang fights, explosions, and 4K Ultra RT, without any problems. The only issue was some stuttering when I first launched the game, but while actually playing, there was zero stuttering or microstuttering.
After that, I decided to run an OCCT test at 95% load.
After 1 minute and 25 seconds, my screen flickered twice and I got an nvlddmkm error.
When I checked the Instant Replay recording, I noticed an artifact in the NVIDIA App that appeared for about one second, as shown in the image.
So, is what is happening to me considered normal, or should I consider an RMA?
