I wonder if you guys could help me answer a few questions i have to clarify my understanding of things OC related.
1. Does heat cause CPU errors from over clocking, i.e. Will a CPU that is unstable at a specific speed / voltage still be unstable if cooler at the same settings.
2. Is it better to have a faster CPU speed, say 4.5ghz and a lower FSB speed or a more balanced OC of FSB + CPU but at a lower overall CPU clock say, 4.2. I find I run hotter with FSB OC as opposed to multiplier OC.
3. Will stability increase over time, does the hardware get more used to the strain? Or is the opposite true,
4. Is going over the intel spec of 1.36vcore for my CPU a bad thing? I have temperature well under control at the moment
That's it for now. Just some general things I am not 100% sure of and would like to clear up in my mind. Ty ty Ty in advance
