A conversation from Discord about overclocking CPUs
Raw
messages.md

<Thomas> Dude 7800x3d "overclocks" pretty decently. 4.82 ghz all core or 4.97 single core.

<Thomas> Got a much better overclock: 5.0 ghz all core stable. 5.2 single core.

<Thomas> And I'm still like 100 mv below what I could get to, but my cooler won't be able to go much higher all core load lmao.

<Thomas> tmax is 89c, and I'm at 80c right now, but I'm also running in an open case config.

<Ivan> the software and tests used to qualify CPUs at the Intel | AMD | ... factory are secret and we have no complete substitute, so there is no way to qualify a CPU yourself for any non-default voltage and speed that can be guaranteed stable under all system conditions, especially rarer or more IO-loaded states

[a day later]

<Thomas> Here's a question. Should I care about theoretical instability on my PC when the only time it appears to show up is in prime95 testing (PC doesn't even crash, prime95 reports incorrect prime answer).
