Mine doesn't have auto over clock. Lol. I have to manually enter a mhz I want, default is 3000 and manually enter in a voltage. Default is 1.18.

Try 1.35v @800MHz and see if it crashes
1.4v is about as high as you realistcally want to go, with the top level 'safe' voltage being 1.45v. 1.45v and beyond is where your CPU starts to degrade much faster over time.
I want to say I do 600MHz @ 1.35v on air. Anything above that and my system starst to shit the bed

Gsync is superior to g-sync compatible freesync displays. Also, only a fraction of the total freesync displays are considered g-sync compatible.
Also has ULMB is part of the G-sync package.
That said, for the extra money you'd spend on a G-sync display in many cases, you could buy a better video card that can hit 100 fps+ whatever size monitor you own, and then you don't have to worry much about adaptive sync at all if you're keeping 90+ frames all the time.
So I bought a desktop PC from someone whom I work with, and lately, whenever there a big vibration, like I stamped my foot the other day while watching UFC, the computer will just shut off. Any suggestions on the best way to go about troubleshooting this issue?

Sounds like a short more than anything. There's probably a small screw or something behind the motherboard or fallen into the PSU, and the bump causes it to make contact with something.
Otherwise, loose ram stick?

Will give this a shot this weekend. Left this morning for another week in a hotel. I do remmeber reading about some hitting 4 &. 4.1ghz but the heat and power draw wasn't worth it.

Definitely want to go through it look for loose connections and such. Probably should just pull and reseat everything. It would be a good opportunity to clean it out if it's dusty too.

Ended up building the below thanks to Prime Day and Newegg competing.
I have not purchased the processor or video card yet...waffling on 1080p vs qHD. Feel like I should get an RX570/80 and let things flesh out a bit more with Navi.

The 3600 is hard to beat. I was going to suggest a 570 mobo but that price for the Taichi is too good to pass up--still, you might want to make sure it can run DDR4 3600 or higher if you want to get into that sweet spot for Infinity Fabric. The 5700XT is definitely great under $400. But I would wait til August when the 5700XT non-reference partner cards come out.

Just get this instead...I was just about to buy this, but the price is back up
No, and that's why I think 32:9 is largely a gimmick. You can get the same benefits with dual monitors, along with the ability to use them as separate displays, not have to worry about viewing angles and half a dozen other aspects.
I just don't see the point of it unless someone specifically wants a single display for aesthetic reasons.

The only situation I can imagine it being useful, is if you had two dual monitors and one of these that were interchangable. Meaning, if you wanted to casually game, you swing down your dual monitors for videos n such. If you wanted to seriously game, you swing down the big boy, haha.

As shown before, I have the older version of that monitor. I work from home a few days out of the week on it and then use 2 27"s when I go into work and there has never been a time where I thought "i wish i was doing this on my home monitor." Or even really notice the difference.
On the flip side of that, when I go to lan parties and use my 32" I immediately ask myself what this garbage is because it doesnt give nearly the same satisfaction. Obviously a 32" doesnt equal 2 27s side by side, but I feel even with that setup you wont get the same immersiveness as a single screen.
