So I originally thought my i5 2500k was a good chip, until I saw exactly how much vcore was being used to reach the speeds I was at. Right now, i have to apply 1.37v to reach a stable 4.6 ghz on my system, which drops to 1.33v to hit 4.4 ghz. From what I can gather around the net that's a little high to hit that speed. Temps are fine, I'm using a H100 right now and they never break 42 C even when stressed. Question is, should I leave the chip where it is? Push it further? Or just ditch it and go with an Ivy Bridge.
Motherboard I'm currently using is a Maximus V Gene.
Appreciate any input.
