Do you risk anything by just increasing Ghz on your cpu

I'm wondering what the consequences will be and how big they are for increasing Ghz to the max where it's stable without having to increase voltage levels?

If you don't increase Voltage, the temp. increase is linear. 10% more clock=10% more heat.
If you increase clock 20%, and Volts 20% then it's exponential. 44% more heat! (1.20x1.20=1.44)

I used to run a 8350 with no voltage increase OC'd a little bit... I was on air and my board wasn't the best... :)

I think you'll be fine, but I think you'll have more fun OCing with some higher voltage and better cooling. Or at least you'll see better results...
