It's more than just time. Low-weight systems can include single-threaded or lower-threaded tasks at faster rates. These quicker rates need greater voltage, though not increased power.
I managed to hit 1.35v stable at 4.4 ghz with a bit of heat, especially with my industrial noctuas spinning at 1700 rpm. If I crank it up fully, temperatures drop to around 70c during the stress test. An aftermarket cooling solution would be the next step for me.
I won't keep it for more than a year. My CPU is heavily limited by the GPU, so it stays mostly idle and rarely exceeds 22% usage, even during CSGO.
It's not really important when you're applying 1.4V across the entire core, and 1.4V is definitely risky. I've noticed some people who can't even handle 1.3V safely. I recommend doing your own research and spending about 15 minutes on P95 to discover your safe voltage limit. Honestly, it's safer to skip over OCing the Ryzen 3K entirely. Just use PBO and AutoOC – manual tuning usually leads to lower performance in most situations.
