I was trying to overclock my PC and thought about the right settings. Some people mentioned 100%, others suggested 140%.
The information provided explains that for overclocking, current capability matters more than power usage. Higher voltage settings are preferred, but they only help if there are no issues. The author shares their experience using 130% capacity, noting it works well and offers extra protection if needed.
What level of overclocking are you aiming for? Avoid pushing components to their absolute limits unless you're targeting a very high-performance setting.

From the link below:
"For your overclock it doesn't matter – what Current Capability defines the current the motherboard needs to recognize an overcurrent and stop it. You're not at the highest power levels."
You're not exactly in the top range of power usage. The higher the voltage during overclocking, the better, but it won't help if you don’t face any issues.
I usually set mine to 130%, though I could go up to 140%. I’m fine at 130 and lower settings offer more protection if an overcurrent does occur."
