Clockspeed vs voltage for cpu longetivity

[ikkozilla]

Question: Does locking my 1600x to 3.85ghz, 1.35v shorten cpu lifespan?

It boosts to 1.45v during 4.0ghz boosts. So technically, even though its always running at 3.85ghz, it will never go to 1.45v, which (1.45v) is bad for the chip?

Voltage and heat are main killer. Clockspeed slightly increases heat, but usually minor.

chip degrade means you get error in the future , need to bump up voltage to keep stability and it goes in a vicious cycle as higher voltage more heat degrade faster

for "safe" 24/7 voltage maybe go read overclock.net forums

Running consistent speed with short bursts vs sprinting throughout an entire full marathon, which one will kill you faster ?

Don't quote me on this, but 1.45v seems fairly high and dangerous. Running at 1.35v seems pretty acceptable for overclocking

So long as your CPU temperature is ok, you'll be fine. It's usually the VRMS on a motherboard that will die before a CPU

I always undervolt my CPU.

Pretty stable, saves electricity and temperatures are low.

How much voltage are you putting thru your cpu?

I have the impression that both temps and voltages >1.4 is detrimental to the cpu. Am I smoking the wrong stuff or....????

I'm on 1.325v and 3.85ghz. is that overclocking or nein?
