Heart Issue #3 OCCT
SolvedGrippeSou77 Posted messages 4 Status Member -
Good evening, a few months ago I bought a processor with a second-hand motherboard, so far no issues, but after a while I wanted to change the motherboard because I couldn't overclock the CPU and run RAM higher than 2666 MHz. So I sold mine and bought another one, and the result was that it had bent pins. I wanted to return it but first I wanted to test it by straightening the 3 bent pins. So I did that and everything works except that when I launched a game, the PC crashed twice. Then I wanted to do a stress test with OCCT to see what's up with the CPU and I noticed after 1 minute "error on core #3." So I didn't want to dig deeper, I returned the motherboard and got another one. When I received the new one, everything worked; I was able to play games without crashing, but with some abnormal FPS drops (though maybe that has nothing to do with the CPU), and so I did a stress test with OCCT again and ended up with errors on core #3 again. So I tried putting the RAM sticks in one by one, switching them around, etc., I checked the voltages, temperature, and frequencies of core #3 compared to the others and everything seems fine, so I don't understand where these errors are coming from... I would really appreciate your help ????

Hello
The joys of second-hand...
Your processor has a problem, you don't mention the brand, but it's more common with AMD than with Intel. In any case, there's nothing to be done....

Re flo88, thanks for your response. Yes, I forgot to specify what the processor was, it's an i5 9600k. Since then, I've learned that it only happens when Intel Turbo Boost is activated. As soon as I exceed about 4 GHz, I get the OCCT errors, but there are no issues with voltage, frequency, temperature, crashes, etc. It just shows an error with core 3. I tried with stress tests like CPUstressMT and another one, and there were no errors.
It might just be a false positive....
If you're not encountering any issues in operation, no crashes, then there's no need to worry.
Ok thanks, I tested it in games, I even set it to 4.7 GHz at 1.28v and had no problems in games so you’re probably right
