Question is using an asus motherboard auto overclock really that bad ???

[indianajune1]

hey guys, this will be my first overclock. I have the i7700k with the asus maximum apex ix. id like to just use the auto overclocking feature to 5.ghz becuse obviusly this will be super easy but people on an unrelated post had mentioned that those profiles will use high voltage. is this really all that bad ??? voltage is what I probably understand the least.

Auto OC are usually not safe and yes , tend to use too much voltage.
