memory by default will run at 1333 without manually entering the correct speed/timings in the bios. Just need to use XMP if you really do not know how to do it.

-Firstly this is going to sound a little wierd, but have you tried re-seating the ram modules?
-Were you mindful of static when building your PC (unlikely but possible)?
-What temps are you getting? any abnormalities? if so check the seating of the cpu as well.
-Did you do a fresh windows installation with the latest drivers after you installed your new stuff?
-Check for bent CPU pins if you haven't already done so
-As a last resort strip the system down to bare necessity i.e only OS drive, CPU, RAM, input. Nothing else, as your CPU has integrated GPU.
You should not have to raise the voltage of the ram just for it to run at its rated specs, if it does then it wouldnt have passed QC, not to mention that it was working fine in your previous PC.
Also please do not try and oc more than one component at a time, if you want to OC the CPU, then dont attempt to oc anything else until you have found a stable OC for the CPU.

deffo trying too much at once. Need to work in stages.
hello long time since i did an update in this thread.
finally i managed to find some time and do a little testing.
since the last time i managed to do a 1h run at 4.5Ghz at 1.2 volts with the memory on 1333Mhz. i want to mention that until the 4.3 mark i was testing without AVX while both 4.4 and 4.5 runs AVX was on.
To achieve these clock i did something different, i didnt change both the turbo boost and the cpu ratio. i just left cpu ratio at auto(3.4) and upped only the turbo on each core..is anything wrong with it or by the time it works is fine?

something weird that happened was that i was getting some weird screen behaviour with the screen goes black and then back to normal again and a message "video driver stopped responding and has recovered"... when gaming didnt have any issue at all.
when was stress testing before i was generally afk so didnt notice if that was happening before.

That usually happens to me when the gpu is unstable because there is not enough voltage being delivered to the gpu or sometimes when the gpu overheats

Explains it. You turned AVX on. Simply means you need to up the volts for those clocks. Not running AVX just makes the test easy to run and not that stressful. Up the memory back to 1600mhz with all its rated timings and simply up the volts, as it was not the problem. If you have to go above 1.3v then imo its best to back down to the next highest clock/volt ratio.

Maybe why you're not getting errors when gaming is that the voltage is ok on the P0 (normal performance state) but it is set too low on the 2D mode, P12 performance state etc. so the drivers crash during normal usage.
OCCT may not be stressing your card out because you put the settings too low, so its the cpu thats bottlenecking (look on core #0 usage)
Install the latest stable (not beta) gpu drivers, and if you already have, then reinstall the gpu drivers

ok i will keep that in mind to check next time. the truth is though that in occt monitor graph the cpu usage sometimes drop for 1sec to 90% total usage or for more to around 30% total usage, maybe what u said about core #0 is happening that moment?? in case that this is it what should i do? Reinstall drivers or is something else?

After a certain amount of time OCCT will back off on the stress for a set period of time and then go back to full stress. Its a better representation of a real world scenario, particularly gaming, since you system will pretty much never be maxed out to the levels OCCT is putting it under 24/7.
ok let me update!
i was trying to do longer runs so i can call the oc stable but with no luck.. the pc just freeze. no blue screen just freeze. the lcd poster is not showing something wrong. i tried to change the voltage abit i tried the ram at 1.64 in case that was the issue but nothing.. so i dont know if is bad chip or something i missed or something else conflicting.
