    It's characteristic for these cpu's to need a little more vcore after they
    burn-in. However after it completes the burn-in phase it will not (should not ) degrade further. I've seen this happen even at stock vcore.

    After my CPU completed the burn-in phase it needed +.024mv to be
    100% stable @ my initial overclock. I have since had it up to 1.6v (for brief
    periods) and It has not degraded any further, and I check it regularly.
