Now I can have the 4930k CPU overclocked to 4.4ghz by them upon build which would be preferred by myself (ive never dabbled with overclocking etc...). I also have the option of keeping it at the stock 3.4ghz.
I would love to know your opinions on whether the cooling+air flow provided by the build above would be sufficient? Will having the CPU overclocked reduce the life span of the CPU? If it does how long would you expect it to last overclocked vs standard clock? Will I notice a big difference between it being overclocked or running at the standard clock speed? And is it relatively safe? If I was to choose the overclocked build from them, I would not be altering any settings any further than they already have...
I've been doing some research on this and from what I can tell most people recommend lower than 1.4v to reach 4.4ghz???
Opinions/advice would be greatly appreciated!
