CPU crash while overclock

[keng2491]

Hi, while I overclock my CPU my computer crash, does that mean anything? Will my CPU die if I crash it or what idk.

 

[rgd1101]

it mean the OC not working

 

[keng2491]

Will it kill my CPU if it crash?

If it's using too much voltage then yes it could at some point.

If it's crashing, the OC is not stable and should be tweaked with further - or set back to factory clocks/multiplier/voltage/etc.

How high of a voltage inorder to kill my CPU?

What is your CPU?

I7 8700k

The 8700K max vcore is 1.4V, max safe core temp is <80C.

Thanks what about the GHz? What should it be at 1.4v?

every cpu is different.

Just in general, average of every CPU

 

[WildCard999]

Most of them are around the 4.9-5.0 mark but there's a few that have hit the silicon lottery and can get to 5.2 without exceeding 1.4V.

Thanks. Last thing just to sum things up. Even if my computer crash while oc CPU it doesn't means that it killed it right?

No but you may want to figure out why it crashed.

Any last tip for me?
