minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink22•11 months agoi mean an os could definitely overvolt the gpu, that’s how users do it
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish11•11 months 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-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•11 months 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
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•11 months agoYeah you definitely can’t easily kill it, only shorten its lifespan

Ok that makes sense
