Today for the 1st time since I bought my i7 9700K I have played all day with no crashes and im 98% sure its 1 of 3 things I did.
Either its the iCue software running, AI Suite 3 software running OR and this is the one I think it might be, I set my power option in windows to "Balanced" instead of "Ultimate" which means this cpu will down clock when idle ect.
My OC is still running and all stable and not 1 crash today, played a good 6 hours now......
"I set my power option in windows to "Balanced" instead of "Ultimate" which means this cpu will down clock when idle ect." Again.Makes no sense.When you play your cpu is gonna go full power again.Technically you changed nothing.I really hope they sort thsi issue out because I had no problems with the game since it came out untill yesterday.My 9900k isnt even oc'd!highest it goes is 4.7ghz which is within intel specifications.
- 6 years ago@wiseolddude Yeah your most likely correct, was just sharing what I did.
Maybe it was the AI Suite thing then, the unusual thing with these cpus is the new AI feature they have added, it does this constant calculation thing in the bios that monitors temps and performance and then alters your over clock, I got an OC bundle and that OC was no good for Apex apparently.
What I did was go into BIOS and set the cpu core ratio setting to AI Optimised, this then lets the AI set all the settings based on its own findings I guess.
I then saved that as an OC profile and im running on 4.9, this AVX setting drops that down to 4.6 and as I say no crashes today.
The reason I mentioned the power option thing was because I dont get these cpus and the way they work, for example theres a Gamer OC setting in the bios that makes the cpu run at 4.9 on light loads and 4.8 on high loads ? I guess to save thermal and power but its normally the opposite way around no ?
Im not an expert but I have overclocked quite a few cpus over the years and this new gen stuff is so different, i wouldnt rule anything out. Maybe the power plan allows the AVX thing to work correctly who fkin knows lol....
