A small question about a 24/7 PC
I wouldn't recommend adding a small OC for a 24/7 PC. My components are already optimized for continuous use, though they do idle heavily overnight. The temperatures stay around 28-33°C while running, 55°C during games, and peak at 63°C during stress tests. I've only adjusted the memory profile and lowered the voltage from 1.280 to 1.245 (adaptive, offset auto). If you consider clocking it up to 10% at 4.4GHz, would that really add value? I value longevity, but these parts seem built for higher clock speeds than the default settings while still offering good lifespan. What do others think?
You can easily set your CPU to 4.4GHz or higher, wouldn't you? To get the best performance from your chip, wouldn't it be ideal? As long as your temperatures stay below 65-70°C with the chosen overclock, that's fine. Also, adjusting the Dimm settings for the XMP profile can improve speed. Use CPUz to check your current memory and SPD for the XMP profile.
