because maybe in the future i might need to. There is a good saying "rather have it and not need it then to need it and not have it lol" but as of right now i dont see why i would need to OC with the specs i lay out, does OC hurt the processor or give it less life in the long run?
just saying
also the asus rog v extreme per pre released spec's are keeping sli @ x8 , x8 by passing the plx chip , if that's the case running the formula is the better for sli only I guess.[minus 2-5 switching chips cut into the pci-e lanes.?]

-expect the English manuals last I guess.
if you're not gonna overclock why get a K processor? Why spend $200+ on a motherboard too?
