Problem with excessive voltage on the CPU has been addressed.
I've never encountered a contemporary processor that functions at 2V. There must be a good reason why most extreme overclockers stick to around 1.7V...
I noticed now, I wasn’t aware of the restrictions for frozen CPUs these days, so I just checked
5V exceeds the specifications for many recent microcontrollers. It's possible that the transistors in a contemporary Intel CPU could have a lower breakdown voltage than 5V. Regardless, they're incredibly compact and swift components. They're fragile little structures. Older processors such as the Motorola 68000, Zilog Z80, MOS 6502, etc., work with 5V. These aren't common in desktop computers anymore, yet you might be impressed by how frequently these vintage chips are still used.
It would be extremely difficult to accidentally configure a v-core unsuitable for your CPU and trigger a fatal shutdown with F10. Motherboards, especially older ones or aftermarket overclocking boards, usually provide options that are quite limited. If you're aware of Gigabyte, they emphasize warning users about excessively high settings. There might be some boards without alerts, but I’d advise against it. A safe setting would be around 1.5v or lower. I’ve seen firsthand how quickly a 1.6v setting can harm Ryzen processors. Hopefully, people understand the risks of an overclocked v-core!
There is no fucking limit man. Half the submissions the c-states where enabled. Helps with cold post I think. Though I've always shut it off. 12900K 1.4v Der8auer. Ya, I don't think so. Even with core reduction. 7120.8mhz http://valid.x86.fr/ttb4eu
