i2500K OC with auto-voltage

Im curious how efficient/effective it is to use "auto" vcore voltage when OCing an i2500K? I left everything at default and upped the multiplier to 45. I prefer auto because of the benefits of low vcore whilst idling.

Vcore whilst running prime95 = 1.28 volts
Max temps ~63C

Is using "auto" reliable for ocing? Is it always stable (Passed IBT and 2 hrs prime (need to go longer)).

Thoughts?
 
if it is only going to 1.28 under prime then your great. my 2500 takes 1.3 to run at 4.6, i am not sure what it needs for 4.5.
 
It seems to work pretty well for Sandy Bridge CPUs, at least up to 4.6 or so - above that maybe not so much.
 
The core voltage is pretty much the only thing that you really have to tweak with sandy. I mean, it really is easy enough. You might as well do it manually.
