Should I increase the voltage?
Should I increase the voltage?
As mentioned in the title, I've slightly boosted my system and created two profiles—one for low heat with good performance, and another for maximum heat and speed. I’ve shared my specifications along with the overclock settings. For continuous use over 24 hours, should I increase the voltage and core ratio further, or is it okay to maintain this setup? If I need to reset everything again in four years, considering instability is a concern, I’m fine as long as the system doesn’t fail within that time. As long as it just keeps running without stopping soon, I’m satisfied.
The final few hundred megahertz tend to be the most expensive in terms of power consumption and heat generation. At 78c with 4.5ghz you're likely needing a new cooling method to achieve even higher speeds. Keep voltage below 1.4v and maintain temperatures under 80c.

you're stable at 1.29v, but why would you want to go higher? you're fine where you are. I just realized I might not have been completely clear about my intention—i meant increasing the voltage so i could reach higher clocks like 4.6ghz or even more. Sorry for any confusion that caused.
