Manual for Core i5 Skylake and comparison with adaptive Vcore voltage effects on CPU lifespan
Will doing manual vcore change how much your CPU lasts compared to adaptive? You're running at a safe voltage of 1.15V and using constant voltage even when idle. This should have minimal impact on lifespan.

I'm wondering if doing manual Vcore on my CPU would influence its longevity compared to adaptive settings. I'm currently using a conservative voltage (1.15V on the core). Does the steady voltage during idle really impact its lifespan much?
Wouldn't it be better to stick with manual and just add an offset? Since when I need all cores to ramp up together, the difference wouldn't matter much—unless I'm cranking the voltage too high. Processors should still last a long time if used properly.

Does this steady voltage during idle really impact longevity? Wouldn't it be better to stick with manual and an offset instead? When required, all cores can ramp up to that overclock. The variation is minimal as long as you don’t crank the voltage excessively. Processors should remain reliable for years ahead.
Thanks for your thoughts. My motherboard Asrock H170 Pro4/Hyper only offers offset and manual Vcore options.
