Constant Voltage and CPU Degradation ?

[Dicehunter]

I have my VCORE set to a constant 1.30v with a 4.50GHz OC on my 5930K using a multi of 36 and a bus speed of 125, The reason I have it set to constant/manual, Instead of adaptive is that for some odd reason my 3000MHz memory will only do a max of 2400MHz when adaptive voltage is enabled but when set to manual it does the full 3000MHz but only if the multiplier is set to 36 instead of 45 and bus speed to 125 instead of 100.

My question is, How much does manual/constant voltage damage a CPU's life span ?

I know as CPU's get older you need to tweak voltage but is manual ok to use at 1.30v for 24/7 usage on a 5930K ?

Orca was on manual fixed volts for 4years.

Its the other volts you need to watch - CACHE and VCCIO on yours and there maybe another one but I forget what its called. You need to get those as low as possible and manually set, THEY are actually the CPU killers

Cooleo thanks boss

Yup from what I remember 1.3v was the safe limit for Haswell E. Takes me 1.29 for 4.6.

For Haswell-E it's 1.35, Anything over that and it's toasty town ^_^

All depends on the thermal limit of your IHS tbh.

I have a couple of the same CPU and one is noticeably hotter and I cant put anywhere near the same amount of volts through it

Cooleo thanks for the info, I've found 1.30v is the sweetspot for 4.50GHZ with this chip. Any lower and it becomes unstable.
