Hi everyone,

The issue I’m experiencing is that when I overclock the CPU to 4.6GHz, my computer restarts after a few minutes of gaming. There’s no blue screen, no freezing—just an unexpected restart. However, if I lower the clock speed to 4.3GHz, everything runs smoothly without any issues or restarts.

Could it be that my PSU isn’t sufficient, or might something else be causing this?

Here’s my setup:

• CPU: i7 11700K with a Deepcool AG620 cooler
• Motherboard: MSI Z490-A Pro
• PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 Modular 650W
• GPU: RX 6900XT
• RAM: 4x8GB DDR4 3600MHz CL19 G.Skill Ripjaws
• Storage: 1TB Samsung 980 NVMe 3.0 SSD for games, 500GB Samsung 980 SSD for Windows 10
