Is it safe to leave voltage on auto
Is it safe to leave voltage on auto
Hey everyone, welcome! I just got my first PC about a week ago and managed to overclock the CPU myself. I have a few questions and would really appreciate any advice you can give me. To start, when I open BIOS, the default voltage was set to 1.352V. After overclocking to 3.8GHz and applying an XMP profile, the voltage dropped to 1.312V. During an overnight stress test on AIDA64 Extreme, the maximum voltage reached 1.320V, and the CPU temperature stayed at around 55°C with no crashes or problems. Games are running smoothly too. However, I saw some forums suggesting it's risky to leave the voltage set to auto because it can spike unexpectedly. Is it safe to keep it at auto mode? My specs include: MSI B450m-a Pro, Ryzen 5 1600, ASUS GTX 1650, Seasonic Focus GX 650W, Patriot Viper 4 Blackout DIMM, 16GB RAM, Arctic Liquid Freezer 2, and a P300A cooler. Thanks for your help!
It's acceptable; usually it will be higher than manual tuning for safety.
