    Different games and applications will be able to run on different OC settings. Not all apps and games can run at the same OC settings. Some will crash the system or BSOD earlier than others.

    Crysis is quite a hard game to run. 3d mark vantage will overlook a few errors and just keep running until it finishes the test. Crysis you could say is a little more sensitive and therefore it will crash or BSOD.

    If you want a stable OC setting for all games and applications you will have to lower your OC settings. Lower them a little and then test again until you get to a stable setting. Otherwise you will just have to lower the clocks every time you want to run crysis.

    Cheers.
