I used 1.35v @4.5 for a while, but now I'm aiming for 4.6. It's challenging unless I raise the voltage to 1.37 on my motherboard, which my ASUS suite says it can handle up to 1.43v under load.

Previously I verified the settings at 1.42 with a 5ghz frequency... Under heavy usage it reaches around 78c, leaving ample space... I anticipate you would be okay at 1.43... Just keep an eye on it and observe... As long as temperatures stay manageable, proceed...

Last time I looked, I was running mine at 1.42 with 5ghz... It handles about 78c under heavy load, leaving plenty of room... I think you'd be fine at 1.43... Just keep an eye on it and see how it goes... As long as it doesn't get too hot, go ahead!
