One of the watercooled cpus degraded with 1.41V in 4-5 days.
The one with 1.52V degraded in just 2 days .
If you're worried , don't give more than 1.32-1.34V .
My CPU degraded with 1.49V watercooled in 4 days . Lost about 70-80Mhz in orthos & same voltages.
Can you elaborate on this? Degradation in a few days with a relatively low voltage increase sounds unreasonable. Did you run only orthos or other tests too? Ambient same, temps same? All other setting same?
