What are the safe temps when overclocking for long-term 24/7 usage? Right now I am at 3800Mhz CL16 trying to crank down the memory subtimings, but I am noticing that DIMM temps are starting to climb to mid-60C temps during memory stress tests like Karhu (takes about 6 hours to hit 6400% coverage). Is this safe?
I read everywhere that b-die starts to become unstable around 40 or 50C, but for me I'm already getting stock dimm temps of 40C, and even when the dimms get hot in the mid-60C range, so far they have remained stable with the right settings. I want to see what these sticks can do but I also don't want to damage something.
What's the max safe voltage for daily OC use? Right now I'm at 1.45v. Would even 1.5v 24/7 be safe? What about safe 24/7 temps? Would 65C under load be safe? 70C? 75C? I've seen a few posts mentioning that they hold up to 80C but I don't know if that's an absolute max before something breaks, or a safe long-term temp, etc.
