Finally a new build but...

[Bob Scott 7,720]

Those overheat messages and presumably the thresholds related to them are part of the test software suite (OCCT), not the BIOS.  The stress test is hitting the limit set in the software and terminating the test with an overheat warning.

Yep, that sounds more like it.

Well yes Max... but 80 degrees! I have overclocked using many boards for years. I have never had to access the BIOS and reduce  a BIOS temp limit. For example, my Maximus X will OC my 8700K to 5.2 GHz. There is no shut down of the system as a result of a BIOS feature being set to such a  low temp.  Temps in the 90's I have experienced with no BIOS feature intervening. I would be very surprised if board manufacturers are setting temp limits so low. Especially on enthusiast boards. 

 

 

I know. I hadn't mentioned HT. 

 

 

I've just had a quick google for the OP's board, and couldn't find any mention of an 80 degree BIOS thermal limit. 

Five Way Optimisation does have a feature where you can "voluntarily" set a max temp of course, and its true that 5WO enters that information into the BIOS, so that feature is present in the BIOS. But that's a voluntary setting, not a BIOS imposed limit. 

 

 

They were years ago, but not with modern boards and components. CPU's throttle back, even VRM's throttle back. 

If you can tell me specifically what this setting is, I'd appreciate it. What is it for your board?

 

You're arguing against a position I haven't taken.  Show me where I said anything about an overheat message producing a system shutdown.  

The expected outcome of a thermal event is throttling.  Hence the term "thermal throttling".

The OP is getting a BSOD along with the overheat message, so the source of the message is secondary to the fact that his system is unstable.

Based on OCCT's "critical temperature" warning functionality, it is likely the source of the messages the OP is seeing.  This feature is user-configurable, both in terms of temperature threshold and whether or not the feature is enabled.  If the user is bothered by the message, the feature can be disabled or the threshold can be increased.  Nonetheless, this doesn't solve the BSOD issue so...

@BadKarmaPT, see the link in the 2nd line of my signature to discover the cause of your BSOD.  Hint: it's vCore.  When overclocking, it's (almost) always vCore.  😁

I will! 

Thank you!

@BadKarmaPT, a 2080Ti feeding a 1440p display will hardly get it out of first gear. Why not choose a UHD monitor?

Being the last thing I picked, I was kind of limited in my choices budget wise when it got to choosing a new monitor.

I wanted an Ultra Wide monitor with a decent size and this one seemed like a good choice.

[Ray Proudfoot 8,954]

@BadKarmaPT, your choice but the monitor is your window into flying. It should be near the top of your priorities. If you’re certain you prefer the extra wide view over instrument clarity then fine.

But having experienced what UHD gives in terms of being able to read every subdivision in a gauge I could never go back to lower resolutions. 2160 vertical pixels versus 1440. 50% more. Imagine what that does for clarity.

Regarding budget a good monitor will last you longer than most components and is a long-term investment. You’re paying more for the graphics card than the display.

Thank you for your input, Ray. I appreciate it.

You make a valid point but I wanted a monitor for more than just P3D. I also play first person shooters and driving simulators so Ultra Wide had to be a compromise.

I understand what you mean regarding instrument clarity but I used to run FS2004, FSX and more recently P3D on a 24" HP monitor running at 1920x1200.

So running P3D at 3440x1440 on this 34" Ultra Wide monitor is somewhat of an improvement IMHO.

[Ray Proudfoot 8,954]

Hugo, If you’re playing other than P3D then you’ve chosen a display that best suits you. That’s fine. When I think back 20 years we were running FS98 probably at 800*600 and thought it wonderful. How times change! 😁

Indeed they have, Ray.

I remember flying that default Learjet out of Meigs in FS 4.0 thinking it couldn't get better than that. 🤣
