Advice on my CPU voltage

Go to solution Solved by Godlygamer23,

Voltage looks fine, but what are your temperatures?

Hello,

 

I havent done any actual overclocking, but from what I remember I chose a extreme profile or something for my CPU. (Did it a while ago and forgot exactly what I changed)

 

I was looking at Core Temp just out of curiosity and noticed my VID was going up to 1.3236v when it reached 4.6GHz.

 

It usually jumps between 4.5Ghz and 4.6Ghz, where on 4.5 it sits on about 1.26v.

 

My only question would the 4.6Ghz jumps up to 1.32v be going a bit high and bad to be jumping 0.1-ish v's quite often?

 

Or will it be fine? Should I change something?

Thanks, was just worried might have been a bit high :)

 

Temps are fine with my H80i. 30ish degrees idle and maybe 60ish when im rendering

You're good then. If you can get the voltage lower, by all means, do it. Your CPU will last longer and probably run a little cooler.

Yeah thanks.

 

Out of curiosity, what voltage would I want to try keep it under? And also for future knowledge whats an "unsafe" voltage where my CPU will definitely begin to degredate a lot faster?
