Some more Q's bout voltage :)

Hey, ive been reading alot on this forum and i see people doing crazy things and i wanted to know what my 2500K can do, heres a few questions:

1. I know 1.4V is max 24/7 but it cant hurt for a few minutes to do a cinebench run can it? Whats the max voltage for short periods of time?

2. I know i need to worry about my CPU being damaged by high volts, but does that apply to motherboards too? What is the max i would make my Asus sabertooth P67 B3 give to my cpu?

3. Is there a point where i wouldnt be able to go into the bios because of how unstable it is? And will remove/replacing the motherboard jumper fix it?

Any other things i need to keep in mind when going extreme-ish? Whats the max temp for short periods of time? And not running prime95 and going straight to cinebench is fine right? I dont need ultimate stability cause im only going to use those clocks to test and benchmark, am i right? Or could that be dangerous?

Tyvm in advance people <3
 
Ok so i just went for it, since i figured that it wouldnt hurt... alot of people do it

Here we go:

Thats the max i could get it to boot at without going insane on volts (Which my H60 cannot handle) 5175 Mhz did not run cinebench (0x101 so i cant get it stable without adding volts) Why did i do the 103.5 Baseclock? Well 52 on multi wouldnt boot and base clock is the only way i know to increase it by less than 100, yes i could have done 51 on multi but i chose not to, idk why

5Ghz jumps around between 1.400 - 1.416 but its at 1.408 for the most part.

5.1Ghz jumps around between 1.416 - 1.432 but its at 1.424 for the most part.

5.175Mhz is at 1.424 in the CPU-Z validation but that is ts lowest voltage, it jumps around between 1.424 - 1.446 and its at 1.438 for most of the time.

These clocks are NOT P95 stable (I think) i didnt test them with P95 for the simple reason my H60 would explode and kill everything i love xD

i dont need these clocks stable either, they r just for showoff :3

EDIT: 7.80 in cinebench @ 5.1 Ghz

Hi there,
1.4v is ok for 24/7 but as TTL did in his 6ghz overclock, he went up to about 1.7v, so mobo's and cpu's can handle higher than 1.4 for long periods of time, but the more the volts go up, the shorter the lifetime of the CPU and mobo.so short tests should be ok to increase the voltages higher, and clocks but would turn them back down after benchmarking.
yes there can sometimes be apoint where you cant go into the bios, this happened to me at one point, i resolved the issue by removing the battery on the mobo, but you could use clear c-mos button if you have one.
Hope this helps, come back if you need more help.
