I need your expertice once again guys!
So, I've got the Asrock Z77 Pro3, which has a 4+1 power phase design. How far should I be able to safely push my 2500k before the motherboard can/will take damage? I don't want to push it so it'll die on me. However, I'm currently at 4.6GHz rock solid (default vcore), and was wondering if a 5GHz mark would be possible as a 24/7 overclock (if the CPU lets me)?
I see the Z68 Pro3 has a similar 4+1+1 power phase, but the 1+1 is for graphics cards right? So, how far do you Z68 Pro3 owners (and others with a 4+x power phase) keep your overclock? Keep in mind, I look for a 24/7 overclock, not just benchmarking...
