I'm pretty new to overclocking and I've read that every chip is different, but 'ive been trying to find out what is a "safe" voltage increase. Many posts of different forms they say that 1.25V is safe other say that 1.3V, either way i don't know if they refer to total voltage or voltage increase.
I'm running a 100 MHz BCLK, 41X Frequency multiplier (stock was 37X) and 1.425V.
Is that voltage too high? Could i take it further without damaging the CPU? I've only increased 0.012V and my PC is stable and temps(20-30ºC idle with a pretty big fan and heatsink, sometimes temps drop lower than ambient wtf) are fine, but i'm concerned with the CPU lifespan, I want this CPU to last at least 5 years.
I'm using an AMD A10-7850K, to check the temps i use AMD overdrive and a tool form gigabyte that came with the motherboard.
(in the pciture, on amd overdrive, max temp is arround 82ºC, so 82-66 =~ 16ºC )
temps on the BIOS are 40-47ºC but 'ive read on BIOS CPU is on 80-100% usage.
