Ive had no issues at all. Im running 1.48v loaded. When do you BSOD? Was anything changed (went to more RAM, added a card, any changes?)?

That's odd, what MoBo are you using?? It shows perfectly on my Asus board, but can be a little screwy on Gigabyte boards, or so I've heard.

GA Z68 A D-3- B-3
So it's a problem with Gigabyte!
It's vary screwy in the Bios two i can't tell what voltage it's using some times.

Yeah, from what I've heard, on the GByte boards, it reads the VTT (might be a different voltage) instead of the Vcore. You should have a monitoring program that came with your MoBo, or you can download for it that should display the correct voltage.
Sorry I don't have exact instructions, I actually have never used a GByte board, so I'm just going off what I saw!

Thanks i'm using one touch from the software and it's saying that my normal v core is 1.29v stock settings in bios.
is that correct stock v core for i5 2500k.

That looks close, maybe a tad high. Do you have any LLC settings enabled??
Edit: and that's exactly the software I was talking about, just couldn't remember the exact name.

Holly. You've been relying on CPUz for Giga Z68 board reading?
Must use Easy Tune or Touch Bios for proper reading.
What clock are you at currently?...and settings?

Might not only be the CPU. From personal experience, having a better mobo gave me much better results with lower voltage.
So it could be the mobo aging or just the CPU, but I tend to think those chip are really durable seeing some users running them at much higher voltage than you (1.55v).
Just a side note, I wouldn't feel safe with LLC 1.5+v enabled! Probably putting lot more pressure on the Vreg.

I'm not worried about Vreg TDP 95w and my low cost board has 5 VRM just for the cpu, i remember asus running 3 VRM chokes for 95 TDP
the gigabyte board has a 3 year warranty i always use cheap boards have not had one give out, there is no problem they build them for overcloking and to last 3 years.
You can't trust what bios says for voltage between boards. even mine says 2.9v for vcore stock settings and some reviews say 2.0v core.
I don't even know if i need that much voltage for 5.0Ghz have not had enough time to check it out.

Does this board has Multi LLC? If it does, you must be careful with which level of LLC being used especially with high vcore.
How did you set this?
With VCORE as NORMAL
and DVID as +0.30v .......right?
If so, that shouldn't be much voltage going through the chip. But how did it stable at 5GHz is up in the air.
So, is the chip kinda dead now? Or still operational but wonky?

on my 2600k.
Im using the same mobo with i5-2500..it works fine and i had no prob at all..maybe u mess up with something else and screwed ur mobo

The chip is operational but wonky.
it was a cherry chip it would do over 5.0 GHz stabe at vcore 1.4v
