Need help in some CPU question

[nickpokesyou]

Overclocking a CPU will it affect the reliable?

What are the benefit of a high GHZ cpu / over cloking

[killerx525]

It wouldn't affect the reliability if have stable overclock. Some games that are CPU dependent benefit from a high clock and encoding is what i can think off that would benefit.

If you overvolt the CPU then there could come reliability issues, but my rule of thumb is try not to go over 1.5 for newer Intel chips. I haven't had experience with amd so I won't talk about amd over clocking

Depends by what you mean by 'reliability'. In terms of the longevity of the CPU, overclocks will reduce it's life span. It shouldn't, if you overclock without a huge voltage boost, affect the every day uses of it causing crashing / being unstable. Generally, overclocking is to squeeze extra performance out of your chip, the trade off being extra heat, and decreased life span.

Overclocking allows you to obtain more performance . as long as you dont go over 1.4 volts with the new processors you wont get into problems.....make sure you dont cross 75 degree celcius under p95 load and make sure the overclock is stable.

1.4? That's frying your cpu.

Not over 1.3, mostly between 1,2v and 1,3v is the best.. Other than that, it's reducing its lifespan in years.

1.4 is not frying at all, i'm running 1.56
