Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my PC at the moment, its a fairly high end PC so I want to ensure everything is running perfectly. The PC freezes during gameplay, note that its not any high GPU/CPU intensive games, just Counter Strike/Overwatch etc. The computer still runs, fans still going all the lights the pumps etc.
For reference my specs are:
i7 6700K @ 4.7GHz
GIGABYTE Z170-X
Geil 3400MHz DDR4 16GB
3TB Seagate HDD
Samsung 850 PRO - 256 GB
GTX 970 G1
GTX 970 G1
Custom Sleeved Cables
3 Thermaltake Quiet Fans
3 Cougar Fans
Phanteks Enthoo Pro-M

Watercooling Components:

FC 970 Backplates
EK WB Pump
EK WB Motherboard and CPU Cooler
Primochill 1/2" Hardline Tubing
Primochill Compression Fittings
EK WB For 2 GTX 970's
1 240MM Radiator (Side Mount)
1 360MM Radiator (Top Mount)
EK-RES X3 150 LITE

Thanks!

Welcome to TSF,
What PSU do you have?

Check your temperatures during game play. If you have dual monitors it makes it easy, if not then you need to log the temps.
HWmonitor has a logging feature to record temps in the background. Minimizing a game to view temps will give you false readings as the system load will drop.

Could you also post your voltages idle and load.

That image doesnt help.
I need to see the 12v, 3.3v and 5v lines. Your CPU, GPU and MB temperatures load and Idle.

Did you apply the Overclock yourself?
What voltages have you changed, what is your Vcore reading?
Does your case have adequate fan cooling for the rest of your system.
When switching to liquid cooling most people forget that the heatsink/fan from the CPU also cools the VRM chips around the CPU. Removing the airflow from around the CPU causes the VRM to increase in temperature and overclocking the system puts even more stain on the VRM.

It was a professionaly built hardline watercooled system. I didn't overclock it myself nor do I know if it is lmao. Theres more than enough fans cooling the case, even with the side panel off it happens. I don't know how to find that voltage list, so if you could direct me that'd be great.

Thanks :)

Download HWMonitor. It will display all the required items i need.
Run your game for a bit to warm up your system. After about 5-10mins exit the game and click on File > Save Monitoring Data and upload the file in your next post.

Yes but for some reason it doesnt include min or max temperatures. Could you take a screenshot of the tool after a gaming session. At least the actual tool displays the max temperature as long as you dont close it.
This is what i need.
