Heat dissipaton vs voltage - 4.11 GHz
Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2011 4:26 am
So after a while of being happy at my OC yield, I have a question for a knowledgeable person...
I've run a trusted utility to monitor temps at 100% CPU load. Never gets above 50*-51*. I'm @ 1.515V, with a 50mv boost @ full load (jumping it to 1.615+).
I know that I'm already at a limit of sorts, but I wonder if raising the voltage further (considering the temps) will have detrimental consequences with only heat dissipation, or if there are other concerns, like the transistor material not liking voltages this high or above? other considerations?
So my question is, is the voltage really limited by the ammount of heat that can be dissipated, or are there other things I should be worried about?
Ultimate point: can I go even further? (evil "mad scientist" laugh)
Parts/specs in my signature, and any specific problems someone has seen or heard of will be greatly appreciated...
