Is this overclock safe?
I'm using an Intel i3 350 processor to operate VMware ESXI with two virtual machines running continuously. It has a base frequency of 2.93Ghz and is locked at 4.4GHz. I’m not sure about its age, but it seems quite old—possibly over 8 years—so I wonder if this could lead to the CPU failing soon.
What is the model of your cooler? If you truly wish to improve, I suggest using a high-quality cooler. Try using the cooler you currently have; if the CPU temperature increases to 90 degrees, it indicates you need to upgrade your cooler. Have a great day!
