I have been running my 2500k @ 4.8-4.9 using 1.4V for about 5 years now and still going strong.
I think these are probably the longest running processors in history that are being overclocked/overvolted by a large group of people, so makes sense to check in 5 years later and see if any of the hysteria about overclocking/overvolting is true. Intel has said that they can handle up to 1.52 for 24/7 usage, but I know people are always worried about chip damage over the long term.
So...5 years later, how's your chip running??? Any failures?
