4.8GHz Safe?

[Faa]

And 1.3 will do it faster than stock as well, I don't really see where you get the 1.4V treshold for where degradation begins

Using your cpu at stock will do it faster as well than not unboxing it.

 

 

I wasn't saying that 1.4v is the degradation threshold. To my knowledge 1.4v on modern intel chips is where the rate of degradation increases drastically or at least that's what seems to be the common consensus.

1.45V. If your chip degrades; 99% of the time it will just need more voltage overtime. Every chip's quality is different, one will degrade slower and one will degrade faster with the exact same circumstances.

system service exception?

Sorry, this is a new term to me, what do you mean?

It said for me to look it up. Hmmm. I disregarded the 4.8GHz but now something (i think my pump) is maybe unrelated but is grinding on startup. I think i'm going to stop... maybe I'll try 4.7 or 4.6 first.

BTW, did you get build off the week from the build of contest? I won one of those and I want a badge!

NVM that build is awesome!

Thats a bsod. A Bsod with a Sandy/ivy is always up vcore.

Ah, didn't realize he was talking about a BSOD error code...

Push for more unless vcore becomes an issue with heat

 

Grinding noise might be fans at 100% when turning PC on.

Grinding sounds like a broken fan bearing, my 212's fan does it on start up then once it stabilises it goes away. Unplugging different fans then starting the rig up to narrow it down.
