Does overvolting integrated GPU damage CPU and iGPU as well?

[ravenjedmanicdao]

So I have been overclocking pc parts for quite some time now, but I am going to overclock the HD 4600 to at least 1.9GHz, but I need more voltage. I have been wondering for a while now, does overvolting iGPU damage the CPU as well?

What would be the safest voltage? Because I will try to achieve the highest clocks possible at the safe level of voltages. And yes I have quite a decent cooler and power supply before you guys warn me of overheating and power issues.

Thanks!

The safest voltages are the stock voltages. Everything overclocks differently, some chips could achieve high frequencies with low voltages, while some may require high voltages for low frequencies.

Don't know if integrated GPU would damage CPU, I wouldn't risk it either way. Even a low end dedicated card could beat the iGPU, so get one.

I do have a separate GPU, but I am an overclock enthusiast and I want to see the true power of iGPU's when OC'd. Would 1.25v be enough? The reason I am doing this is to compare it with the GT 730. I just like to benchmark.

You haven't told me what your CPU is, how should I know what's good for it?

Sorry, I have got the i5 4440

You are better off overclocking the CPU or buying a GTX 1050 or RX 460 equivalent.

This was a month ago, I have now upgraded to GTX 1050 Ti worth the money! Thanks for replying!
