Apologies in advance if this has been posted. The search function didn't come up with anything useful for this specific issue.

The only difference I can see between these two models is Power Design. The V being 12 phase, and the Pro being 16 phase. My question is: If I'm doing a mild 24/7 over-clock on a 2500k, say 4.4-4.6GHz, will using the V with 12 phase be a foolish investment? As I understand, power design only serves to make the hardware work less, thus increasing it's lifespan. Obviously this is a good thing, but if I plan to have this for say ~4 years, will I have regretted not spending the extra $30?

I'm using a 2500k @ 4.4GHz with a P8Z68-V Pro mobo right now (same power design for the Z68), but I'm selling my entire box to a friend cheap because he needs something new.

Specs in mind:
i5-2500k
Corsair H80
Asus P8Z77 V
8 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1866

I'm a sucker for the PRO series boards..They're more solid and take the abuse ..
If only they has a reset CMOS button instead of jumpers :rolleyes:
