I overclocked Intel i5-760 2.8 GHz to the next stable status (stability was checked by running a blend test in prime95):
150 Hz x 22.0 = 3300 GHz
Core voltage: 1.25 V
IMC (VTT) voltage: 1.4 V
Another voltages (like PLL) I set to auto.
When I became setting IMC voltage > 1.3 V, its value turns in red color (which is bad, I think). I read some forum posts about max safe IMC voltage is about to 1.35...1.4 V. Then I understood, that bigger IMC voltage leads to bigger temperature and reduce CPU lifespan. The first is OK (t <= 65 C during running a torture test in prime95). But the second... I don't know how to figure it out.
The questions are:
1) Will my CPU be (likely) working after 1 year under that OC conditions? Or it turns out, that after a few weeks I'll have to buy a new one?
I have been using this CPU for 2.5 years under the stock condition (no OC).
2) If it will, why don't put IMC voltage to 1.7 V, which is max, and overclock CPU to 4.x GHz, If under this condition it passes the torture test?
3) In some posts I saw my problem can be solved by decreasing IMC voltage while increasing CPU Core and PLLvoltages... so sweet things it might be! I did try a lot to adjust these voltages but my PC didn't load Windows. Is it real to adjust CPU Core/PLL/PCH voltages to decrease IMC voltage?
Added: My motherboard is Asus P7P55D-E... I read that this motherboard seria has mmm not very good chipset for overclocking under safe voltages... maybe I'm one of losers who bought it)
