Overclocking (Main Thread)

James Morris4 said:I totally get that cranking up the voltage brings higher temps—that's just common sense. But does simply bumping up the CPU clock speed also drive up temperatures even if I don't touch the voltage? If it does, how much of a jump are we talking about? Is it significant, like more than 5 degrees?
Yeah, pushing the frequency definitely spikes the heat. When you're overclocking, temp is everything. You really don't want to see anything creeping past the 75-degree mark if you want to keep that processor healthy.
