Hello. I have been wanting to overclock my components for a while now but have not done so (apart from some messing around with the GPU in MSI Afterburner).
The problem that I cam to when overclocking was voltage. I know that changing the voltage can damage your components if you go too far. My question are:
1) Will it only damage it if the heat gets too high or can simply voltage alone do this?
2) How do I find what voltage is safe for my components?
3) Any advice for me?
Specs
- Gigabyte - GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 motherboard
- Intel Core i7 4790k
- Hyper 212 Evo air cooler
- AMD Radeon R9 380 4GB from MSI
- G.Skill - Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
