Fix for: Is it better to use an offset or manually set CPU voltage (with respect to CPU longevitity)?

Low Risk

Both temperature and voltage kills a CPU. A high voltage spike can kill it quickly. In your case I wouldn't worry though. The voltage spikes you have are still low. The Intel spec sheets specify the max vCore VID as 1.52v for that processor. Now, I …
