wevsspot Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Nah, many of us still overclock.... some modestly, some extremely. But any time a thread starts out with "lifespan" in the title, you have to consider that someone might be fixing to break something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DnaAngel Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks for the replies. When I said 24/7 it was just no power-offs. No Folding or mining on that PC, just school work and gaming. Yea there really is no need for a 5Ghz OC, just wanted to do it, to do it. K series CPU mind as well right? I just didn't want to be going out next week for a new CPU, for utterly no reason. To my understanding, the 3rd gen i5's are fine as long as you don't creep up past 1.45v. I have only pushed it to 4.7ghz once on 1.3 something volts. I am on a static overclock, I know that is not the best way to do it, but I never understood the other dynamic way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prunes Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 You will see no gain in school work and games by going from 4.4 GHz to 5 GHz. Only maybe some instability, if the OC isn't done right. It is always fun to try and push your hardware to the max, but why not do that for a day and do some benches before and after and such, and then take it down to 4.7 or 4.4 GHz?
