A few months ago (I would say 4) I had to bump my voltage up by 2 notches because of burn in (had chip since december of last year). I went from 1.352v to 1.368v. Now I think my chip had degraded again as it suddenly became unstable.,...

Anyone else experience this>?

If it becomes unstable like that, throw your bios back to default and work your way back up to your overclock. Some settings may not need to be moved as much afterwords.

It has happened to my i7 920 3 times, 1 time i just kept bumping it up till It seemed stable. The other 2 I defaulted the bios and my vcore actually dropped a little bit each time.

Might try a differt overclock i had 4800 stable 12hrs prime so i went for 5ghz well on 3 differt times i ran it for over a hr never had time to get a 12hr run then i woke up with a bsod 116 and then for whatever reason it will not do 5ghz now but 4800 on same settings is perfectly stable.

This exact thing happened to my 2500k. I was at 5 ghz 24/7 at about 1.395 vcore. Perfectly stable. Over time it's dropped and I can't hit 5 ghz even with 1.45 vcore. I decided to drop down to 4.8 ghz at 1.375 vcore. Our chips are most likely degrading. I've never had my temps go higher than 69 C at full load. Unfortunately, you just have to bump up that vcore or drop your OC down a bit if you can't handle the temps.

Yes.

It happened 3-4 times with my i7 920 @ 4Ghz. It went from needing 1.262V to needing roughly 1.34V. Each time I bumped the voltage a little higher and stayed there for several months.

Now I have it at 1.29 only because I enabled LLC in the bios.

What also happened to me is that BSODs caused by too much overclocking corrupted system files which also caused more BSODs.

Here's what I did to fix the acute problem of BSODs:

Run the Command Prompt as an Admin
Type "sfc /scannow" to check for corrupted files. After it fixed them I no longer got blue screens and my system was stable.
Also type "chkdsk /r" to check the health of the drive.

There are two issues to this situation:

Short term issues that cause more BSODs (ie. corrupted system files). These can be fixed.

Long term issues like actual chip degradation.

I suffer from both. I was able to fix my corrupted system files using "sfc /scannow" but I also noticed more instability months and months later. So while that command can fix immediate issues, you will probably deal with degradation in the future, as I have. Enabling LLC has fixed this problem for me for 8-9 months now, but be careful about using it and expect more degradation in the future, it's just part the game.

I have LLC enabled but I am still well below what EVERYONE else use so i wouldn't expect degration as I am having now.... :/ I guess this is something to be expected with this series of chips and has to be accepted. I ran for about 5 months at 1.368v before it needed a bump.
