What limits professional Overclockers volts or heat?

Jack_242 · May 1, 2017

Professional overclockers tend to be limited by the amount of heat a cpu produces not by the amount volts applied. So does this mean the safe amount of volts the cpu provider lists for any given cpu can be ignored if the proper cooling is administered?

At the extreme upper limits of overclocking, cooling such as Liquid N2 might be deployed. And that just for a short term, to post some uber number that has no use in the real world.

You probably don't want to go that far.

More work and voltage and watts = more heat.
How much heat can you dissipate, and still retain a stable usage?

No it can be ignored, professional overclockers that are doing it for competition, or to show you what a CPU can do if you put enough volts through it are only doing it for a very short term and using things like LN2 cooling, for long term you wouldnt want to.

Stick to your stock voltage +0.200v-0.250v, so if you CPU normally runs at 1.15v dont go any higher than 1.35v-1.40v, and again, this all depends on your cooling, you need to find the balance inbetween.

So if I have an AMD FX-6300 @ 5.065 GHz, cvolts are 1.536v , idle temp is 29c, and temp under load is 63c I am okay?

temps look good, every CPU is different, whats your stock volatge ?

I believe stock voltage for an AMD FX-6300 are 1.01v.
I know I am putting a lot of power though my system and it would be unwise for someone to do this if they were not monitoring everything closely.

I just looking it up, its between 1.25v-1.30v and 1.35v when its boosting, so you are just outside limits.

Just keep an eye on it.

I can still push it .7v and be in the safety range correct? I only want to do this to bench it then I'll reduce its clock.

honestly my temps are amazing.

You don't want to go over 1.4V for FX-6300, but if you just want a benchmark score go ahead. If you keep it constant it's gonna die in half a year or 9 months.
