While I was playing Call of Duty Black ops on my PC after having completed a successful overclock of 4.2 GHz for my FX-8350 with my aftermarket cooler keeping it under 62 degrees under full load, my Asus AI Suite II program generated a program notification explaining that, during my gaming session, the Vcore voltage had spiked up to 3.068v very briefly and dropped down to regular 1.38v.
Should I be worried about any possible damage to my CPU because of this? I am currently running Prime95 stress test for 30 minutes so far, and it has not generated any errors as of yet, but I am not sure if my CPU had been damaged slightly because of that spike?
Is this normal for the program to be alerting me about vcore voltage jumping that high?
I have the ASUS M5A990FX motherboard and I worked with the overclocking settings within the BIOS.
I really don't want my FX-8350 to die out of nowhere on me because of this brief spike in voltage ...
