minus-squareJumuta@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up22·2 years agoi mean an os could definitely overvolt the gpu, that’s how users do it
minus-squareLemzlez@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·2 years agoPretty sure the gpu BIOS is limited by default, nothing the OS can do about that. Same for other parts like the cpu - core voltage is determined by the motherboard. I doubt the os can just go “2V vcore” and blow up hardware.
minus-squareOrnateLuna@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoYeah there’s quite a bit of safety mechanisms in place but I imagine windows could just adjust all the gpu overclocking settings to the max and make the system unstable. Plus just reformat all of your drives
