I have a few questions regarding voltages of processors in general, but if anyone has any first-hand experiences with a 4000+, that'd be nice. If you add a lot of voltage to the processor, would the only downside be the heat produced? I've been recommended to not go over 1.55 with air cooling, and 1.6 with water cooling would be good. Do you think they just said this because of the heat? If you add too much voltage to the processor, is there a possibility that the processor would fry, never to be able to be used again? And if there is, how likely is it? I'm just curious, because I may be getting a water cooling system soon, and I wanted to know how high I could bump up the voltage, safely. I don't want to ruin any hardware from carelessness, because this stuff isn't cheap. Sure my processor maybe relatively cheap, but not cheap.
And also, I think my processor has finally surpassed the 200 hour break-in period since the last time I applied Arctic Silver 5, and the temps have gone down significantly. I'm on air cooling; this is pretty much the same as the other questions, but can I bump up the voltage as long as the temperatures are in a good range?
I apologize for asking pretty much the same question over and over; I just want to be safe here. I appreciate the help this forum has given me. Thanks in advance.
Also, if this should be in the "AMD - General" section, someone move it; I didn't know where to put it. Thanks.
