large spikes (vcore) ... Dangerous?

Thvle · 15 Feb 2013 at 05:25

Hello, no way to stabilize my overclock. The OC is stable, but there is one thing I do not like ... HWiNFO64 tells me voltage peaks up to 0.06v (1.425 to 1.50v) ... I think a lot. You think that this is dangerous? I've tried everything, to enable LLC, etc ... and there is nothing to do. My motherboard is low-medium ... M4A78L-M.

My Phenom II 965 C3 is stable at 1.425v (3.9ghz) ... but my voltage in full load boost to 1.50v sometimes!

Ahh. Hm I'm unsure of the safe vcores for the Phenom II's... sorry :/

Let's see, voltage safe max is 1.450v in phenom, more or less... ... but what I want to know is whether these changes as sudden voltage can may break!

Well if it's going above the safe max then simply yes.. keep an eye on it if it spikes too often/too much then possibly step off your OC a bit or something.

As far as i know the vcore shouldn't be an issue aslong as the temps aren't hitting the limit for long periods of time
