cpu performance decline under steady voltage conditions
cpu performance decline under steady voltage conditions
Hi
I've overclocked my Core i5 4690k to 4.2ghz with static override Vcore at 1.158v on a 24/7 schedule. Could I risk CPU wear from constant voltage?
My motherboard is an ASRock B85M.
Max temp: 55°C
Sorry for the poor English.
When the CPU is kept under constant voltage, its lifespan tends to decrease more quickly than expected. This is why I recommend opting for a balanced power plan rather than a high-performance setup. It assists in lowering temperatures and minimizing the CPU's workload when it's not active, but if your tasks require full utilization 24/7, you'll face a quicker decline in performance.
Even though I understand degradation exists, it's uncertain how long a CPU or motherboard will remain in that condition after overclocking.
My personal experience with my 2600k since 2013 has stayed around 4.5 volts and is used regularly but not constantly, despite playing many games.
Because of the steady voltage or CPU temperature? Which one is it?
yes the higher voltage leads to more temperatures and quicker degradation. but what are your thoughts on a low constant voltage and low temperature, like a steady default voltage?
