AMD Athlon II x4 620 MAX SAFE VOLTAGE 24 HOURS ON
Hi
I'm currently adjusting my CPU's settings, and so far I've reached a stable 3.1 Ghz at normal voltages. I'm aiming for even higher speeds but have been experimenting with the BIOS. Honestly, 1.4v feels too high for stock performance, so I'm wondering what safe voltage limits exist without damaging the processor. This machine is intended to be a small home server—likely for Plex Media Server and continuous operation—so it needs strong performance. Please let me know!
My model is only 1.275v, yet it's the deneb version with the 6mb of L3 unlocked. I've managed to reach 3.1, but when I lower the RAM and ht link speed and attempt higher settings, I encounter an error during the prime torture test. Most functions work normally, though I prefer to pass every test. I saw your question too—looking for the safe voltage range as well.
