R.I.P. CPU?

[Versti]

so a week ago i decided to overclock my cpu in the bios rather than using the Ryzen Master app thingy.

but i gave it 0.2V instead of 0.02V, and booted up but the pc crashed and turned off, and got back to the default settings (the normal non-overclocked settings).

now i have a question.. because i know that alot of voltage could kill a cpu, so will my cpu die eventually because of the mistake that i did?

im legit freaked out right now as i only had this pc for 2 months ish.

 

EDIT: 0.02V was enough, so 0.2V was an overkill for the overclock that i was doing.

+0.2v doesnt really kill a chip easy

 

thats usually the standard gain for oc voltages

 

i would worry if it were 0.4 or smt

 

oh yeah not to forget, never overclock using software.... always oc using bios.. if a software corrupts due to instability when ocing it can put out wrong voltage numbers and what not and actually blow up stuff :v ( especially if u tweak ram lol ) its safer ocing through bios

Thanks for taking your time writing these answers, they surely did help. much appreciated fam.

Nawh. the thing which kills CPU's and shaves time off their lifespans is prolonged heat exposure. I did the same thing on my 6700k, meant to bump it up by .05 increment and went to 1.55v instead. it booted, I ran my stresstest, 10 seconds in the CPU overheated and shutdown. PC is totally fine. Overclocking hardware is designed to be resilient to this sort of abuse. If it was going to break as a result of this stress, it wouldn't turn back on for you.

Does make alot of sense, thanks for that.

0.2V for as short a time as that won't do any permanent damage to the CPU. You won't need to worry about it.
