When the max wattage is stable, and you did not BSOD, you also need to check if the CPU is NOT throttling. You need to run OCCT on infinite mode for at least a good minute, to let the power build up until it's stable. If you OC the CPU, you have a temperature at which you don't have a BSOD, but yet the CPU throttles to not get too hot.Īnyway, a very good tool to check al that is OCCT. Overclocking any overclockable parts, and running into heat BSOD Possible BSOD resulting of any iterations in BIOS like overclocking Not enough wattage to run the PC at full power Most imply a possible BSOD if you had run a benchmark, but there is one instance of a possible 1 star rating without a BSOD.
A 1 star rating in a new build may mean a few things.
