Hello,

I've recently managed to overclock my CPU to 3.8GHz without having to increase the voltage one bit. I'm wondering if it will be okay to decrease the voltage until it becomes unstable so I will be able to lower the temps? I wont leave it at that voltage, I just want to know if its ok to do that

Another thing I need to know is that if I decrease the voltage will it decrease the performance off the CPU given the clock speed? And is it bad to decrease the voltage to get it as low as possible?

When overclocking, you want the lowest possible voltage and the highest possible clockspeed with respect to stability, temperature, and power limit and consumption. Voltage will not decrease the performance of the CPU, but lower clocks will. Basically, you want to find the lowest possible voltage for your 3.8 GHz overclock. Lower the voltage 0.005v at a time until you are unstable for 5 minutes stress test. Once instability achieved, add 0.010v and stress test for 12-24 hours.
