Ryzen 3rd gen is special in that it's the first 7nm chip and that small size means all the transistors and other parts on the CPU are smaller compared to the previous generation. Most motherboards simply won't let you input that much. Again, the higher you push the voltage, the faster this degradation happens. But once you OC your CPU to its limits (voltage is just enough for the clockspeed), as soon as it degrades a bit you will lose stability and will require more voltage to support the OC.
Normally this never happens with a completely stock CPU because the manufacturer always leaves some headroom to account for variation in the quality of the CPUs off the production line (also why some CPUs OC better than others, they may have more headroom to use). The performance itself doesn't necessarily degrade, but over time, the CPU will need more voltage to run at its maximum clock speed.

I am a beginner CPU overclocker, what do you recommend me to learn how to overclock CPUs on?

Ok well, do CPUs degrade in performance as they get older? I thought that doesn't exist in PC hardware, And how did the BIOS let the dude boot at 2+ voltage? And why should I be specifically very careful with Ryzen 3rd gen CPUs? Overvolting can definitely kill CPUs, high temperature just makes it degrade faster. The actual max manually-set static voltage may vary anywhere in the ballpark of 1.25 V to 1.325 V and again this depends on the specific chip, it might even be lower. There's a long-time misconception that the max safe voltage is 1.325 V which was based on a quote taken out of context. Each CPU has a defined max voltage limit that differs from chip to chip.

Overvolting can definitely kill CPUs (gradually or instant depending on the severity), high temperature just makes it degrade faster.įor Ryzen 3rd gen CPUs, you have to be very careful about setting manual voltages. Someone (here or reddit) accidentally typed in 2.xx volts instead of 1.xx volts and instantly killed their CPU. With software, you risk running into an infinite loop of crashes.ĬPUs can definitely be killed by overvoltage. Some motherboards automatically reset BIOS settings if it fails to boot X number of times. If settings don't work out, you can always do a CMOS reset to restore to default settings if your OC is so bad it doesn't let you boot. Personally I would rather cut the middleman and do it through the BIOS directly.

Software vs BIOS overclocking: Software OC just changes settings in the BIOS.
But as long as you read up on it, watch some videos, and make sure you only change the correct settings, and don't push volts beyond accepted safe numbers and your temps are in control, you will be fine I always use BIOS for CPU, thats just me tho. My second question is, Is CPU overclocking as safe as GPU's? For GPUs, the GPU doesn't let you go too high to not kill the thing if you're running it's default BIOS, but what about CPUs? do CPUs have such safety features so that even if you do too high when overclocking them they stop you right there and not let you overclock it that high?įor the additional question, Can overvolting kill PC parts even when their temps aren't high? So I've recently started reading a lot of articles about CPU overclocking to increase my knowledge, and I found 2 ways to do it, the first is to use software overclocking software(s) like Intel extreme utility or Ryzen master utility, the second way to go is to overclock it using the motherboard's BIOS, Which way is more relevant and/or safer? and can motherboard Chipset affect overclocking quality?
