Overclocking i5-2500K on ASUS P8Z77-V LX Z77
Good day! I'm interested in the question: is it worth doing automatic overclocking of the i5-2500K on ASUS P8Z77-V LX Z77 via BIOS (ASUS Optimal mode)? Now it's in Normal mode. With automatic overclocking in the optimal mode (ASUS Optimal mode), the processor frequency rises to almost 4.4 GHz, the stone voltage at full LinX load jumps from 1.32 to 1.35 W and the temperature of the cores up to 75-80 degrees. On Overclocker I read that Intel does not recommend exceeding the voltage of the i5-2500K processor above 1.38 W. The processor is almost 3 years old. Cooler Thermalright Archon. It is important that the processor lives for at least another 5-7 years. So I'm wondering if it's worth it to accelerate on the machine? Does overclocking significantly reduce the life of the processor (due to raising the voltage)? The BIOS has been updated to the latest version.And if this is not worth doing, then is it worth enabling CPU Ratio in TurboV EVO, after enabling the cores are automatically overclocked to ~ 3.7 GHz. The voltage at full load LinX jumps from 1.24 to 1.27 W. The temperature of the cores is up to about 70 degrees. Perhaps this will not affect the life of the processor?
I forgot to clarify - overclocking to a constant.

Therefore also interests, whether it is necessary to be dispersed on the automatic machine?
no. It is strongly not recommended to overclock on the machine.

if everything is overclocked according to the mind, cools well, the voltage is not critical, then it will live for a long time, where will it go then ..

If the voltage is not more than 1.2 V at 4 GHz, is that a lot? How long will the processor last?
I was able to achieve with LinX 4 GHz, but the voltage was fixed at 1.176 V. The voltage in the load was from 1.176 to 1.184. At idle 1.176. In idle time, the frequency, according to the idea, will drop to 1600 GHz (Intel SpeedStep seems to work), but the voltage remained 1.176, before it dropped to ~ 0.800.
Tried through Offset, got to the value of 0.140.
Windows boot 100% load 4 GHz: 1.192 - 1.200 V
Idle: 0.848 - 0.856 - 0.888 - 0.992 V (favorite value 0.856 V)
LinX load: 1.160 - 1.168 - 1.176 (favorite value 1.168 V)
Minimum core temperature: 35 -35-31-34.
Maximum temperature of LinX cores: 59-65-60-59.
I set Offset to 0.170 and sailed.
I had to toggle the Turbo Boost switch on the motherboard. Then the computer turned on.
In general, now, as the last time I configured the settings, I can’t apply, the BIOS is reset.

I myself had this percentage, I advise you to set it to 1.400V and see what maximum frequencies it will take at this voltage and that the temperature is normal 85-87gr, (100% load of the processor) I worked at 1.350V with 4.6 with the boost turned off. using a processor at 1.490 V at 5 mhz (in air), after three years the degradation of the stone came, stopped taking 5mhz at 1.490V

4 GHz quite suit me. Yes, and what kind of voltage is 1.400, I'm afraid to put 1.200 on a permanent basis.

When using a processor at 1.490 V at 5 mhz
1.49 set or output?

If you have such questions at 1.2v, you probably shouldn’t go into the BIOS at all.
Sandy can be spun up to 5.5 in the air. Usually on 24/7 they put from 5 to 5.2, depending on the quality of the chip, the mother and the coolness (and, of course, the skills of the overclocker).
Sandy is quite tenacious in terms of cores, he has an anchor sore spot, so with SA and IO (they are also system agent and VTT) voltages are easier, I don’t recommend setting it above 1.1, without knowledge of the matter.
+ after 4.7-4.8 you can win a penny on the PLL, where you can immediately bet 1.88 for example.
In general, I did the following:
1. Reset the BIOS
2. Turned off the ASUS splash screen when restarting the PC
3. Set the multiplier x 40
4. Set the Offset Mode to -
5. Set the Offset Voltage 0.095
6. Set the RAM frequency to 1600 Idle voltage
: 0.848
Voltage when loading LinX: 1.160 -
1.176 Voltage when loading the processor with Windows: 1.192 - 1.200
