I5 6600K Overclocking and lifespan

[MegaMelt]

Hi everyone,

Just got my new i5 6600k with h115i corsair aio.
Looking to keep this chip for 5 years minimum so keep that in mind.
Im not scared to OC, had an fx6350 at 5GHZ before this.
Basically looking to keep max stock volts or a very safe margin, accepting whatever frequency max comes with it, any ideas? Running AIDA 64 for an hour shows 1.188 max vcore on 3.5ghz stock speeds. Advise me please, wanting to run normal stock voltages and still get the fastest speed i can.

well these chips can run for 5 years normally with normal tempratures PC life depends on Life Cycle No of times its running but still it can run for 5 years and you can overclock at 4.4-4.5Ghz to be on safe side

Overclocking rule of thumb, o be sure your cpu last for years keep the temps under 70 degree and you should be fine (60-65 degree would be the sweet spot)
