Hey everyone, I know I'm new here but I've found a lot of help on these forum boards so I was hoping maybe someone could help me out.
I am very new to the world of overclocking but after reading a lot about it I feel like I've gotten something of grasp on it. I have an Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe board and an Intel i7 3770K on air and using the Asus Bios I have gotten it to what I believe is a stable overclock of ~4700mHz. I've been running it there for a while now and pushing it there with benchmarks and games and it seems to have no real issues, I don't think temps have even reached 60C. I may try and push it further when I get more comfortable but for now I am satisfied.
My question is this, even if it is stable am I still reducing the lifetime of my CPU by running it at overclock/overvolt? Also, I want the overclock for gaming and intensive stuff but I also do a lot of really basic web programming work that doesn't require horsepower like that. Is there a way to use TurboV EVO or a similar programming to alternate between overclock and stock state?
I don't want to overclock with TurboV, I figured out how to do it with the BIOS because I gathered that was the better way to do it. I just want to use some software to have an underclock profile that I can quickly flip on or off which sets the setting more akin to stock. That way I can alternate between overclock and "safer" mode without rebooting my computer. Is that possible?
