Discussion about boosting Ryzen processors Question about optimizing performance and stability
From those old Reddit threads we can gather limited insights. A handful of users mentioned 3600 hours with 1.3v after several months. Most responses come from a small group among many thousands, so it's not a universal figure. Regarding CPU usage, gaming a few hours daily versus rendering videos nonstop changes the situation significantly. Those who are purchasing high-end GPUs like 3090 for gaming likely have substantial funds available.
It's been several months, but there are still crashes in games and Blender.
I discontinued P95 after the Haswell release. Consider AIDA64 or OCCT now.
I don't have any games or app that can put I consider "unrealistic" load on CPU like P95. I used AIDA64 for my old 5820k. Then recently switch to OCCT. Did the test for my brother-in-law's 2950X two years ago. Then my 3900X last year, and 3600 a few months ago. They are stable no crash in actual gaming and apps like Blender and Handbrake. I see no reason to use P95.
You determine the safe operating voltage by testing under load and observing performance. Your setup shows stable operation at 1.325V during stress tests, which suggests it's within a safe range. Running at 4.5GHz with PBO confirms compatibility. Adjust based on your specific requirements.
