Should I Be Concerned about "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR"?

nah, this thing just appears when the system is unstable. RAM and CPU can cause this error to show up (though more commonly CPU)

Hi, so recently I've been wanting to stabilise my CPU overclocks by lowering voltage to get optimal temps whilst still getting the clock speeds right.

 

I went from 4.6GHz 1.2V to 4.6GHz 1.1125V for like probably seven hours(?) and I got a bluescreen.

(the reason it's warm is because I had Windows Night Light on)

 

At first I was like "Well okay, first bluescreen, guess I'll wait for it and up the voltage a bit", but I had left it for twenty minutes and it still hadn't restarted, so I did what everyone else would've done and shut it down using front power. I immediately went into UEFI and upped voltage to 1.15V and it's been stable ever since.

 

I Google'd the code and I'm still quite out of the zone in terms of what this code is and what caused it, so could someone explain what it is, what might have caused it, and if it's anything significant? I'm not too concerned about it being a significant thing since this happened close to two weeks ago, but it's still worth going for a conclusion.

I guess I'll pin this on the voltage then. Playing limbo with CPU voltage is a dangerous game.
