Using 2 x Overclocks

[damunk]

I've overclocked my GPU's and CPU.

Is it okay to change both overclocks to default when ever i'm surfing/ on desktop? and use the overclock profiles that i've saved for gaming?

I want to try to relax in a cool room sometimes, save energy, make machine last longer.

I ask this because it's taking me good time to get both overclocks Stable and I was wondering can you ruin it by switching profiles every day back n forth.

Thanks.

Yes, you can try that, but it is only going to lower power usage by 10 watts/hour MAX. It's just not cost worthy in my opinion. I use Intel Speedstep which only overclocks when the CPU is near maximum load.

It's the heat. Cpu idles at 47 with OC and 37 ish on default profile.

GPU ide at 42 overclocked and around 32 ish on default.

It's the heat mainly I'm thinking about.

Is it safe to keep switching when you have a stable system?

I won't recommend continually switching, as overclocking then resetting puts stress on the electrical delivery system (capacitors and chokes).

That's the sort of advice I was after.
