Unintentionally introduced a small current of two volts to your laptop's processor, concerned about potential damage
I was mistaken about pushing too much voltage into my laptop's CPU. It quickly slowed down right after I started, and I shut it down right away. When I restarted, everything seemed normal. I thought I might have damaged the chip, but it’s actually running fine now. I was using Intel Extreme Tuning and increased the core voltage, then applied the changes. Someone suggested I be careful, but I’m still a bit worried. The machine was hot—around 212°F (100°C)—and I was on high load. I used Intel Procsessor check tool to test afterward, and it said everything is healthy. Still unsure if it detected any physical damage or long-term effects from overclocking.
You can verify if you haven’t run a previous test by checking your logs or records for any prior tests. If there’s no entry, it means you haven’t executed the test yet. You might also look for confirmation steps in the process that indicate a test was skipped.
If your CPU is functioning well, you shouldn't be concerned about harm because any issues would be obvious right away
Ensure you meet the requirements; otherwise, feel free to compare your results with others to assess performance issues such as 1.4v or 1.5v under normal conditions.
