Thanks for shining the light in us but one question i don't want to start a beef with anyone but I don't remember what page it was i remember tenzu and you arguing for the theme of the higher oc as you said on your comment that if your ps3 allows you to do 950/1000 you choose to keep it at these frequencies, this PS3 will degrade way faster than at 700/850. And tenzu saying is not true because voltages aren't begin touched while you are trying to show him a screenshot from metal gear solid different oc temperature so that means it going to be the same as the stock mhz 500/650 if iam not mistaken?? Right?.. this is actually confusing while i saw your videos and the 5c temperature more with the 800/1000 iam not even sure if this reachers are correctly anymore people saying different stuff having different assumptions on there mind but begin close to something they can't understand iam not talking about your comment it's just that I've tried to read all the pages to understand how all of this works to only understand that everyone here giving false? Assumptions iam agreeing here that higher oc are more dangerous for the system then a more lower clock speed that's the more realistic way to understand how this works i wish tenzu doesn't curse me out not knowing about the voltages...or pcs
We are learning. That's how researches works.
So of course, maybe something we thought was true 30 pages ago may have been contradicted by our new discoveries.
I myself have done a lot of research on overclocking, I've dug into the subject and I have learned a lot.
Thought I knew a lot, but obviously not enough.
That's why you have to be humble.
No need to change the voltage to generate more heat and degrade your hardware.
The GPU works more, consumes more.
More power = more heat.
It is a basic and universal rule.
There is also the phenomenon of electromigration, which overclock exacerbates.
Electromigration degrades a GPU by causing the movement of metal atoms in the electrical interconnects due to high current density. Overclocking increases the current flowing through the GPU's circuitry, accelerating this process. As atoms migrate, they create voids and hillocks in the metal lines, leading to increased resistance, circuit failure, and ultimately, permanent damage to the GPU, even if voltage levels are not modified.
In short, you just can't say overclock is safe. And knowing that, you have to evaluate how much risk-taking is worth it.
When overclocking a GPU, there is ALWAYS a point of diminishing returns. On the other hand, in parallel, the power consumption continues crescendo and the harmful effects with.
