Vcore set to auto?

I'm currently overclocked to 4.2GHz with the i5-3570K and UD5H. By accident, I left the vcore on auto instead of designating a particular voltage (1.23 previously). Thats when I noticed my cpu voltage and temps (from HWMonitor) were both much lower during idle and during stress tests. Also, now the whole system seems more stable and with fewer . Geekbench stress tests successfully ran for an hour before i shut it off, which has never happened before!! Stress tests usually crashed within 10-20 minutes. Briefly looking through user builds, I couldn't find a single person that left on auto.

So, is ok to leave the vcore on auto?

Typically it isn't recommended when you overclock, but it can be different for everyone. If you have a stable system, I would just leave it.

If you have a stable system, I would just leave it.

Thank you, I will do that and just monitor it closely.
