So I've had my 2500k for about 6 years and it' been great. A few months ago I was lacking a bit of umph so I went to a 4.8 overclock. Fully stress tested it and no bsod issues. The Last week or so I have been getting random bsods. I rempved the overclock bacl to default but it continued. Had one when I was clutching a win in pubg. Not ideal. And today is when it all went down the pan. I was demoing some rift games to the fam and just kept getting bsod aftr bsod which eventually resulted in a bsod loop. I'e managed to get it to boot by keeping the clock speed at the base speed but giving it a bit more voltage. But it still bsods after about a hour of prime95. I'v run the ram test and that came back fine. I guess it' time to upgrade. Hope there is a tempting boxing day sale for me !! 8700k yes please
