Is 1.4V OK?

[h3ll0]

I have a AMD FX-6100 and in order to achieve 4.2 Ghz I have the voltage at 1.4V, my temps are 70C max on prime 95 after 8 hours and under 50C while gaming.

So my question is, is 1.4V OK for 24/7 usage or should I have my CPU at 4Ghz at 1.35V?

[Unhelpful]

I generally prefer not to go past 1.35V personally.

[Hans Christian | Teri]

As long as temps are okay you're fine.

It's AMD. 

[Rorgash]

can you actually dmg a cpu as long as the temp is under control? 

[Prokart2000]

my 8320 on auto gets 1.425v

[Unhelpful]

It's AMD. 

Oh. Fair enough. it's past 6:00am for me, cut me some slack. I have no idea what the stock voltage is for the 6100.

Yup. Voltage can kill just like heat can. They both kill. High voltages are usually what kill instantly. Heat usually kills over time. That said, heat can kill instantly as well. And voltage can kill over time (well decrease the longevity)

[Izaya Orihara]

Oh. Fair enough. its 6:28am for me. Cut me some slack.

I haven seen 8350's running on 1,55 Volts for years,

As long as the temps are fine then any voltage will basically go.

i think i heard that AMD is Fine (er) with higher Voltage then intel, I dont rally know so much about OC'ing i just heard that AMD takes more

[h3ll0]

The stock voltage for my FX-6100 is 1.250V

[DeViLzzz]

AMD recommends only 1.45V. http://www.overclock.net/t/1331122/anyone-know-max-cpu-voltege-for-fx-6100/10

[Ryan Leech]

1.4 is fine for 32nm bulldozer

[Prokart2000]

yes it is

I ran my 8320 at 1.325V for 4.3, 70c on core is high for AMD chips. But the voltage is OK if you improve cooling.

 

I'd back it off to 4/1.35.

underload my untouched 8320 runs at 1.425v out of the box

O really. That cpu isn't even 2 years old

[Prokart2000]

It's a rhetorical device. I was obviously exaggerating. What i meant is that i have seen poeple run these stable at 1.55 volts for a long time. Like a year.

Those are usually with good cooling and a really good motherboard.

 

The stock voltage for my FX-6100 is 1.250V

 

I would try to get a better cooler on it and I would go out to 1.45-1.475 volts for 24/7 use.

7 months short. But he may have been putting 8150s and 8350s in the same category in which he would be correct as 8150s are 7 months away from being 3 years old.

That's turbo on 1 core though, so less heat

 

But the voltage was OK just temps a bit on the high side

oh i thought its on all cores oh ok

Still 2.5 years isnt really enough to pull accurate results out. Not saying its bad, but you're never ever going to prove its bad and before we will get the data it will be pointless because the cpu's would be outdated and worthless.
