Can I get a redpill on CPU overclocking? The amount of conflicting

>>59898709
The first think you gotta understand, my nigga, is that all CPUs aren't exactly the same. When someone says they can overclocked a chip to 4.6 GHz that doesn't necessarily mean your chip can go that high. What a good tutorial will tell you is how to walk your CPU up until it becomes unstable or until it reaches a speed your that satisfy your productivity requirements.

I just did a bitch mode overclock right now just to test the waters and here's what I got

>1.21V
>4.3 GHz
>82 degrees MAX temps under Prime 95
>45-55 degrees emulating in Cemu
>No crahses

Is that fine? I just get paranoid about this "degradation" shit and don't want my CPU bottling out on me.

Also, is Dynamic volts better than Static? I hear that Dynamic is better for long term use and Static is better for testing.

Specs:

>4690k CPU
>Hyper Evo 212 cooler

Yes it's safe, I would guess it degrades the processor faster aswel. I tend to undervolt them to get them cool. I delidded a 7700k and reduced stock voltage to 1.09 and I can run it with all fans on minimum speed with an air cooler.

Dont got over 70C
Get a beefy cooler
Get RAM that wont fry itself
get mobo that will actually allow you to overclock
That is pretty much it

>Is it safe?
As long as you don't do anything stupid like try running the CPU at 1.5V.

>Does it degrade the CPU faster?
Yes. However, compared to the other parts, your CPU is pretty durable. Even overclocked(assuming we're not talking about extreme overclocks), it's practically guaranteed to outlast the motherboard and the CPU socket.

oh no he used a word conservatives use!!

I've been running my 2500k at 4.6Ghz with ~1.3V (can't exactly remember the voltage) since they launched and have had no issues.
I'll be buying a new CPU way before it shows any signs of degrading.

>>59898709
If you have intel cpu:
- Don't go over 1.35v (preferably stay under 1.30v)
- Don't let the temperatures go over 75 degrees celsius (safe zone is under 70)
Always set voltages manually and look up what each option does before messing with it and you'll be safe, no cpu degradation.

Once 4.9-5GHz i7 3820 user here.

Fuck thermals, fuck degradation, fuck lotteries.

Just took the thing and turned up voltage to 1.38V until it was stable while going for gold on clock rates.
Turned up load line calibration as high as it would reasonably go.
96C under full load but the single threading was good enough to justify it in my case.
Had to knock it down 0.1GHz in the summer to avoid over temp cutoff when the AC went out but that was about it.

It's free performance at the expense of greatly increased heat output and energy consumption.
Must've been pushing ~220 watts on full load.

You have to go back.

never bothered manually overclocking mine, the motherboards "enhanced turbo" system does a pretty good job. takes me to 4.6ghz during handbrake encodes, temps rarely break 68°c

I always overclock when I'm drunk to get more FPS out of Milkdrop while listening to Drum and Bass music and then wake up in the next morning hoping that I didn't fry my CPU.

I should be banned from using computers while being drunk.
