Ever since I OC my i5-3570k to 4.2 Ghz, which is in no way overboard, I've observed some very minor stuttering / microstuttering when playing some games (Crysis 2).
I am pretty sure my GPU OC is stable as I haven't encounter this problem before.
Bear in mind that I've done stability testing with no BSOD or anything, and 4.2 Ghz should be doable on this CPU. How likely do you think the stuttering is the result of an unstable CPU OC?
My spec:
i5-3570k
HD 7950
8 GB RAM
Win. 8
EDIT:
Temps are low for both my GPU and CPU.
GPU: Never hit above 60c when playing Crysis 2.
CPU: Even cooler.
I even monitor the frametime using Afterburner. The frame latency seems pretty stable, with average frametime of around 20ish millisecond. Base on this, gameplay should be smooth as butter, but it just felt like there is stutter here and there.
IDK, could be a psychological thing.
