Motherboard: ASUS Z87 Pro
CPU: i5 4670K

Firstly, the reason I asked this dumb question is I do not know anything about OC...I didn't plan to OC until I learn a bit more. But since my MO nicely did it for me already, I think I need to make sure whether my rig is fine or not...it's only 3 days old >.>

My Motherboard automatically overclock my CPU to 4.5K mHZ at 1.275V-1.325V when it believed I need high performance stuff. Is this voltage fine for that frequency?

I know OC will reduce the lifetime of the CPU, but is it a really important thing I should worry about right now?

If yes, should I keep the high performance setting there all the time, or I sholuld make to "Auto", which means it will change my CPU back forth depend on what i am doing, OR I should leave it to "power saving" switch to high performance when I needed?

Any further help would be appreciate!

I didn't do it on purpose...I don't even know how to stop it....

So before I have to uninstall this software, if the setting tells me the frequency is 4.5k MHz and CPU voltage went up to 1.275V for couple seconds,am I OK?
