Consider waiting a bit while you fine-tune the i5. That’s a missed chance if you don’t. I believe the deathzone sits around 1.9, with an absolute max of about 1.6V. A safe range would be 1.52V (based on Intel 14nm specs). Keep temperatures below 85°C, but aim for under 80°C for best results.

Honestly, no one really pays attention. Just grab whatever works best for you. Plus, there are new releases coming in the next two weeks, so it might be worth waiting a bit.
