minus-squareJCreazy@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·11 days agoIs that actually possible? I don’t know how much privilege an operating system has. I would think if would need to go deeper
minus-squareJumuta@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up22·11 days agoi mean an os could definitely overvolt the gpu, that’s how users do it
minus-squareLemzlez@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·11 days 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-up3·10 days 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-squareJumuta@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 days agoYeah you definitely can’t easily kill it, only shorten its lifespan

Ok that makes sense
