i7 6700k OC @4,5GHZ @1,265V
My i7 6700k OC at 4,5GHZ @1,265V
and my computer runs continuously without any blue screen issues!
my CPU usage stays at 100% because I used VMWARE while playing games
after a month of overclocking I haven’t seen any blue screen, crashes, or lag.
my question
is my overclock stable and is the voltage within safe limits?
next question
could my CPU lifespan be affected?
my CPU temperature never exceeds 77°C
Hi,
First of all:
You've overclocked your CPU and don't seem to have any control over its temperature?
That's a major concern, isn't it?
In fact, this will affect its lifespan. It's true that running the processor at higher voltages and temperatures can significantly reduce its life span.

It might shorten the lifespan, but it's not that serious. I've had a 3570k since it was born, overclocked it the first week I got it.

Hi,
First of all, you mentioned overclocking your CPU without any control over its temperature. That’s a serious concern—it can drastically shorten its lifespan. In fact, running it under high voltage and heat will significantly reduce its life span. Please be aware of this issue.

Hello,
First things first:
You’ve overclocked your CPU and don’t have any control over its temperature?
That’s a serious concern indeed.
In short, it will affect its lifespan. The processor’s life span will decrease noticeably with excessive voltage and heat!
Best regards from Sweden
It might reduce the lifespan, but it’s not that drastic. I’ve had a 3570k since it was new, overclocked it right after I got it.

Alright, let’s start there.
All electronics are vulnerable to damage from overvoltage. That’s a definite issue!
Why? Not just the solder joints can handle it—there’s a bigger problem.
The higher the current, the more intermetallic buildup occurs, and eventually—no electronics function properly with today’s technology.
The steeper the curve, the faster it declines. That’s just how it works.
It’s all about the ions; I’ll break things down eventually.
