Bah, if RAM fails or the NB, you'll get such windows errors, OCCT RAM is stressing too much your RAM-NB subsystem

In the maximus thread, someone monitored a voltage drop of the RAM till a lower limit corresponding to the crash/errors. It reveals a heat issue on the 2 PWM of this board sourcing the RAM modules. Give it a check maybe it'll help you. And again, if OCCT is stable on stock and unstable on OC, it is rather bad news for your settings

By the way, what OC did you achieve now on the X38-DQ6, do you still have the Prime load issue you had on the Maximus?
