Ryzen 7 3700x overclocking
I haven't experienced any major problems with my CPU. If degradation occurs, it will happen sooner rather than later—potentially lasting only 7 or 8 years instead of a decade. My chip usually stays cool, and using the PBO Boost technique reduces performance significantly. For example, Cinnebench scores around 5400, but with the PBO method it drops to about 4500.
Zen 2 launched in July of the previous year. We're discussing timeframes now, not decades. Just use the voltage you're comfortable with, but avoid suggesting 1.4V as the maximum—it's definitely unsafe.
According to the data I've collected, it appears to be within acceptable limits, though it really hinges on cooling efficiency. The main reference comes from an unfamiliar source I haven't encountered before—someone I've never met, whose information seems solid and well-researched, but it's just one point of view. Beefy cooling seems preferable, but I haven't found a clear statement confirming its safety within a tight timeframe. Ultimately, each individual can decide based on their comfort level.
The person you mentioned isn't buildzoid and Anthony feels confident about the voltage I shared, plus he tends to stay cautious.
I can't provide a direct link, but I can help you find the video or give you instructions on how to locate it. Let me know if you'd like assistance with that!
