Many cases you can undervolt but keep the same speed so less heat and a little more performance. There is no affect on life to be concerned with. There's more heat since it's on auto and that will overvolt most of the time. You should try to manually set it.

If you have a Maximus Hero just enter the BIOS and use the overclocking feature. Without any manual tweaking you'll get 4.6Ghz on an OC. Don't worry about the stock features or if they fluctuate. The built in boost will change dending on load/temp.

i like the timings you have said.it alows for low heat and at stress goes to 4.2 then up to 4.4 when gaming.so i will leave it at what i think is the best way.its just varied from so many mobos and intels oc utility doesnt seem to be able to make its mind up either.i can oc to 4.6 but whats the point you wont notice any performance increace in games [maybye a frame or 2] but the extra heat and life of the chip? i like idling at 26c [ambient heat im sitting with shorts and t shirt with all windows open and its not cold lol]
