Massive Voltage for .1Ghz?

[Izumi Reina]

So when I originally got my g3258 I over clocked it to a steady 4.4Ghz @ 1.21V but since i got a new high airflow case and new CPU cooler coming soon I was wondering is it normal to go up even to 4.5Ghz I have to up it to 1.245V and 4.6Ghz is 1.275+V (Approx)

Probably not the binning you expected, you're under 1,3 V though

The closer you get to the max of what the cpu can take, requires much more power. So yes this is normal.

What would be a safe voltage for something like a g3258?

Im not familiar with that processor so let me research it real quick.

1.35V for 24/7 use is fine.

1,35V, asuming it isn't a toaster

That's how overclocking works, you need exponentially more power for decreasing increments of clock speed.

As everyone has been saying I have found 1.35 to be the max safe spot for OC.

this is how it usally goes, with my cpu i can get 4.5 @ 1.25v but to get it stable at 4.6 i had to go 1.4 (never go that high i was just seeing, youll kill your cpu running on 1.4 for long)
