msmcleod Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 Ironically, my (now pretty old) ASUS motherboard was having intermittent crashes until I slightly increased the CPU voltage. Now it's rock solid.

Now it's rock solid. What is pretty old? It seems hardware companies go through stages of crap products. Gigabyte, Seagate , went through this. I guess if I make another system I'll use AsRock boards.

When I upgraded to the i7-3770 (not the "K" variant), the occasional crashing started - normally with large file transfers. To be fair, the i7-3770 is literally the fastest processor that motherboard supports (well apart from an over-clocked i7-3770K) and I doubt many were using it when it was released.

Still using my l7 4790 with an AsRock board. I regret not buying the K version. It has PCI slots and my old AP2496 is running in that.
