I've been adjusting PC components for some time now, but I'm planning to push the HD 4600 up to at least 1.9GHz. I'm also looking into increasing the voltage. I've been thinking about whether overvolting the iGPU could harm the CPU as well. I want to ensure the safest settings possible so I can reach the highest clock speeds without risking overheating or power problems. I have a decent cooler and power supply already, so I'm confident in my setup. Thanks!

The most secure voltage settings are the standard ones. Performance varies widely across components; certain chips can reach high speeds with minimal power, while others might need stronger voltages for lower frequencies. I’m unsure if an integrated GPU would harm the CPU, so I wouldn’t be sure either way. Even a budget dedicated card could outperform the integrated one, so it’s worth getting one.

I have a dedicated GPU, but I'm an overclocking enthusiast and I want to experience the real potential of iGPU's when they're overclocked. Would 1.25v be sufficient? The reason I'm doing this is to compare it with the GT 730. I just enjoy benchmarking.

It's more advantageous to enhance the CPU performance rather than opt for a GTX 1050 or RX 460 equivalent.

It's better to overclock the CPU or get a GTX 1050 or RX 460 equivalent. I upgraded to the GTX 1050 Ti last month and it was worth it! Thanks for your reply!
