quick question about exceeding 5 bonus cap

My build has one problem - 28.1 HP (1.88%) HitPoints (Exceeded 5 Bonus Cap)

Is this a problem at all? There is really no other way to work this build. What will happen exactly? I never ran into this problem before, so I never really knew. Should I be worried? Thanks to anyone who can answer.

Basically, you can have up to 5 of a given IO Set bonus. Any more than 5 of the same bonus, and anything past the fifth doesn't actually affect you. (Just to note as an example, a 5% recharge bonus would be considered different than a 6.25% recharge bonus)

Nothing will happen except you won't gain the +28.1 health to your max health.

And as Street_Wolf is alluding to, the "Rule of 5" applies to bonuses of the same name and not the same numeric value. Those names are the ones you'll see listed on your personal info, such as Huge Recharge bonus or Ultimate Recharge bonus.
