I typically replace mobo and CPU every 5 years, so that's what I'm aiming for in terms of lifespan, hopefully with a bit of residual value at the end. I managed to get 4.0 GHz from 1.45 V, running R15's render test at around 68 °C with a final score of 1726 cb points. It just dies if I try 1.4 V or less, but I haven't tweaked it any more than that as I heard 1.4 V and above isn't really safe for every day usage, even if the temps aren't all that high. So I've rolled it back to 3.95 GHz at 1.375 V and it's giving me around 1695 cbp at 62 °C, and I can run the 1344k test on Prime 95 for over half an hour without any issues and it pretty much averages around 50 °C or so. This sound good? Do you think I could get a little more? Roll it back a bit?
I've got a Gigabyte Aorous (or however you spell it) gaming 5, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400 Mhz DDR4, 280mm radiator cooling and a 750W XFX silver rated PSU.
Another thing is that I heard you should increase the DDR4 voltage to increase system stability. I've put it up to 1.3 V at the moment. Again, good idea? Bit more? Bit less?
