Hello,

I bought a ASUS Maximus VIII Hero Alpha (BIOS 1701) + 6700K CPU setup, a few weeks ago. I've been playing with the OC settings and I'm running a 4500MHz OC now with a vcore of 1.25v (under load 1.296 max) and LLC on auto. Things are quite stable, but I have a very high VID of 1.440v max and I was wondering if this threathens the longlevity of the chip?

VID stays high on for example LLC level 1 (can't turn it off it seems) and a vcore of 1.35v. My temps go up though.

Ah okay, I was wondering about the relationship between vid and vcore. I will leave it as is, temps are ok and it's 1h stable on Aida64's stability test. (I will test for 12h soon)
