So this is my first ever cpu overclock, I have been following a guide but have a concern I'd like to address before I go any further.
I have been raising the clock speed bit by bit using HWmonitor & cinebench to test, I haven't had any crashes yet, but I'm currently at 4.8ghz with 3.20v yet hwmonitor shows the voltage fluctuating higher than the value I have set (see link below), is this normal or what? I'm scared that this will damage the chip if I continue.
HALP PLS!
