Ok, so for the past week or so, I've been working on down-clocking and reducing voltage for running WCG, because let's face it, it's not good to run a CPU at 85-90'c 24/7 when it's your main/only computer. I got my CPU down to 4.5 GHz @ 1.200 volts and temps are down to 65-70'c, a lot more to my liking. And I have yet to get a crash from crunching with these settings. But every time I try to boot a game, instant crash. And with games ranging from Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries (a +20 year old game) to Cyberpunk 2077. My question is why would the CPU be fine crunching at 4.5GHz/1.2v, but instantly crash with any game, regardless of hardware requirements (my computer could probably play MW4 with no power cord lol).
