Does increasing the voltage and temperatures still influence longevity when the frequency is raised?
Does increasing the voltage and temperatures still influence longevity when the frequency is raised?
on my rtx 2060 i've successfully increased the clock speed to 2010mhz through overclocking, yet temperatures remain unchanged and voltage has decreased because of undervolting. it functions perfectly. could this impact its longevity?
There's one other factor that affects silicon life and that's current density in the cores. The higher operating frequency will increase current a lot even though the lower operating voltage is helping to keep things cooler.
Power consumed (with heat as a waste product) is a function of both voltage and current over time...which is the operating frequency component again.
The correct answer is:
yes, it will affect the lifespan.
But how much? hard to say without the proprietary FIT data Nvidia...
Lower voltage will help. Long-term, high frequency won't have much impact.

But how much? hard to say without the proprietary FIT data Nvidia doubtless develops. And then: probably more depends on the quality of your silicon sample as anything else.
