Difference between Voltage Offset and normal Voltage regulation

[MatejAustria]

Some overclockers overvolt their CPU with raising the voltage offset (e.g.: +0.100V) and others simply type in a higher core voltage (e.g.: 1.100V). What ist the difference?

most CPUs have their stock voltage around 1 volts. normal OCers use to only higher with max 0.3 to 0.5 to be safe. It also depends on temps.

 

 

it is not the volts which kills your CPU. it is the temps.

 

Imagine your CPU having small wires inside it like a light bulb. With overheating the wire break till the end. That is why good cooling is important

 

You can have your CPU at 1.5 volt and have 70 max temps and it is fine.

 

many ppl missunderstand that it is not the volts which kills you CPU, it is the temperature. But Higher volt = higher temperature..
