Same thing happens to me. Set my memory to 2.04 and in the BIOS it shows as 2.14 and also in ASUS Probe.

OCCT is being rewritten. It is mistaken about, because of that "30mn PC Stable" message. New releases will put the minimal test at 1h. And never forget, to be 100%, you'll need a few hours run like any other proggy.

In RAM mode, OCCT is much more sensible than Prime95 Blend

If only OCCT fails, just run it at stock. If it doesn't fail, you know the answer: The PC is tsable until you find a game/program that stresses the RAM/NB subsystem and you'll hang up. Also, if you have an unstable PC, each time you have bugs, you'll have to test without OC to rule out an unstability. So, it's better to run a rock stable config, rather than a so so stable
Noted! Thanks Johnny!

I don't think it's the EPU driver either since I haven't installed any of the AI software either. Just Asus probe and the ethernet/sound drivers.

btw I tried the vDroop pencil mod.
Results:
Set value for vCore: 1.35
vCore in BIOS: 1.336
vCore in ASUS Probe: 1.34

After mod:
vCore in BIOS: 1.344

No other settings/voltages were affected.
