It looks like exceeding 1.3 volts will cause temperatures to rise quickly—over 90°C in about 15 minutes. I've managed 4.8 GHz at 1.3 and stayed under 90°C for the same duration. Should I continue pushing beyond 4.8 at 1.3 until failure occurs? Is the aim to achieve the highest frequency with the lowest voltage to maintain temperatures below 85-90°C during stress tests?
Have you come across any of the delidding discussions? You might consider lowering your temperatures by 20 degrees if you replace the processor and adjust the thermal paste.
Have you checked out any of the delidding discussions? You might be able to reduce your temperatures by 20C by replacing your processor and thermal paste. As someone new to overclocking, I prefer learning thoroughly before attempting anything like delidding. However, I have read about it possibly in the future.
It seems you're hitting the thermal limits of your device. The issue might stem from inadequate airflow in the case, insufficient cooling for the CPU, or fans being directed incorrectly, which reduces efficiency.
Don't go beyond 90c, it's too hot and could harm your CPU. My current temperature is 4.7, and during stress tests with Aidia64 I usually reach around mid-60s, while an Intel burn test typically lands in the mid to high 70s.
It seems you're encountering thermal issues with your device. Possible causes include inadequate airflow through the case, insufficient cooling from the CPU cooler, or misaligned fan directions that reduce efficiency. The readings of 85-90 degrees are unusual under full load at 4.8 GHz with 1.3+ voltage.
You shouldn't go beyond 90c, it's too hot and could harm your CPU. Right now I'm at 4.7 with stress tests on Aidia64, averaging around mid-60c and Intel burn tests in the mid to high 70s. I'm not adjusting the voltage anymore, since that's what raises temperature the most. I'm wondering if it's better to keep the frequency at the same level or lower.
You're not supposed to go beyond 90c, or you'll harm your CPU. Right now I'm at 4.7 and under stress tests with Aidia64 I see around mid-60c, while Intel burn tests are in the high 70s. I'm not raising the voltage anymore—it's the only factor that raises temperature. I'm wondering if it's better to keep the frequency steady or lower it, since increasing speed won't help and could actually slow things down.
