Stream audio stutter narrowed down to Base Clock overclock conflict.

So, I've been tinkering around trying to figure out why, since overclocking yesterday, my audio had begun to stutter on stream.

Intel i5-2500k was normally set to default everything (Voltages, Base Clock, etc) with a x42 multiplier. It ran fine at 4.2ghz and I would stream with it quite often. Now, I selected a setting to push it a bit further yesterday and noticed when streaming today that the audio would cut every 4-5 seconds.

I threw out a few google searches and found a couple of comments from Jim saying that it normally narrowed down to either a USB conflict, an overclock conflict, or something similar. I knew USB wasn't the problem in this case, and that I had recently pushed a bit further in my normal overclocking just a few hours prior, so I began to troubleshoot.

I pretty much narrowed it down to everything back at default, and when I would but the base clock up (haven't tried every tiny mhz setting) from 100.0MHz then I would get the audio stutter on my stream.

Set everything back to x42 and default and I'm back to normal with no problems.

Hopefully this will help you guys out a bit.
