Long term overclock true or myth
Long term overclock true or myth
Hello, welcome! This is your first time using an Overlocker and exploring the exciting world of K-cpus. Right now your setup looks like this:
- Core voltage: 1.27 V @ 5GHz
- VRAM: 1.45 V
- Power supply: 1.25 V
- VCCIO: 1.25 V
- VCCSA: 1.25 V
- Line calibration: 2
You have a few questions about long-term stability:
1. How many years has your CPU been running smoothly at this overclock?
2. Are the voltages you're using safe? You're seeing up to 94°C on synthetic tests but only 60°C in games—this is within normal limits, but keep an eye on it.
3. Should you keep this overclock or switch profiles when not gaming?
Thanks for reaching out!
1- Your CPU has been running with a solid overclock for several years, provided you maintain proper temperature control.
2- The voltages you're seeing are quite high; synthetic boards can reach up to 94°C, while gaming boards stay around 60°C. Keeping under 1.35 is safe, but 94°C isn't recommended for extended use—aim for below 90°C.
3- Consider keeping the overclock or switch profiles during downtime; changing profiles could be beneficial.
You're seeing 94°C only on synthetic materials, and you don't use any other workloads that generate that temperature. That's normal since synthetics typically produce less heat than gaming or compilation tasks. This is within an acceptable range.
