Hi everyone,
I got confused about how dynamic voltage affected my board and accidentally sent almost 1.6v through it, pushing all cores to 100c for a short time while using CineBench. It was surprising that the computer didn’t shut down, which was unexpected.
Later, after some testing, I achieved 5ghz at 1.33v and everything ran smoothly during my Total War session with no issues. My temperatures stayed low, around 87 on one core and 78-82 on others.
I’m wondering if I should be concerned or if there’s a way to check for any damage to the chip.
Thanks in advance!

A safety mechanism would activate well before any hazardous temperature was achieved, causing it to reduce power or stop completely in severe situations. Pushing safety settings too hard might cause harm, but in your situation that isn't the case.

Thank you for your response. I was a bit concerned since I haven't received my temperatures that high before. Appreciate the reply!

I faced an issue when I began my computer and received a WHEA_UNCORRECTIBLE_ERROR. I reset the overclock settings to their default and the system functioned properly. I don't know what caused the problem... Any suggestions?

Likely voltage is too low for your output.
