Yes, voltage can influence performance following overclocking.
Hello,
I've been experimenting with overclocking recently and achieved a stable 4.4ghz at 1.28v. I'm curious if voltage influences performance. If the voltage is too low, would that result in worse performance, such as lower FPS in games? Many people use 1.30v at 4.4ghz, so I want to know if high voltage versus low voltage makes a noticeable difference. I'm just starting with overclocking and haven't done much beyond my old PC. Also, if the CPU runs too fast, could that actually lead to worse performance compared to lower speeds? Thanks.
The voltage and speed for one person will not work for another. The same goes for sweet spot. Different components, different requirements and there's always the cpu lottery. If voltage is too low, you'd be unstable. Too high is more heat and power usage. Performance would be the same as long as speed is the same. 4.4ghz is 4.4ghz. The higher the speed, the better performance. Push it as far as you can. Just keep is under safe voltage and safe temps.
