Overclocks degrade over time due to heat and electron migration. If you've been using it like this for 6 months, he was probably using it for much longer. Usually instability can set in after about a year and you need to keep adding more juice to keep an overclock stable. It could also be a new application or program update is doing something that was never done before.
