Hello, i used the auto function on gigabyte z270x ultra mobo. using 7700k
went to 5ghz, kindly check if these settings are ok
i am using a coolermaster neptune 240m liquid cooler with th

Looks good. Also, make sure your Motherboard isn't putting voltage spikes into the CPU. You can see it in Gigabyte tech../Voltage/CPU VCORE under load. That one doesn't need to be below 1.4 but make sure it doesn't spike to 1.6 or something.

I agree with Daniel. Your temp and voltage looks fine... Now, if it were me, I would dial back the OC a hair and see if you could drop the voltage a lot for the longevity of the chip. It would make no noticeable difference in how the system performs, but might make a huge difference in the temps...

For example, my own chip (6700k) does 4.6 at 1.25v (65), 4.8 at 1.32v (lower 70ish), and 5.0 at 1.43 (mid 80ish). I choose to run mine at 4.6 for day to day stuff and only turn up the juice for benchmarking.

Your settings are fine and may never affect your chip... But I have always thought of it like a car. If you drive your car peddle to the mettle all the time, you are going to wear things out faster...

Good Luck,

Adam

i bought the pc primary for playing games and database storage . also at 4k res i dont think the stock speed of the cpu should be a bottleneck for a 1080 sli

You CPU should not bottleneck the GPU's at 4k... From what I understand, at 4k your GPU's are doing most of the work so you should be golden...
