Check if 1.280v is suitable for continuous 8700k overclocking.

I've been experimenting with boosting my 8700k's performance. It consistently reaches a steady 4.8Ghz at 1.280v and under full load it caps around 64-65c. I'm curious if this voltage setting is suitable for continuous overclocking. Thanks!

What stress tests are being applied? Those figures look impressive if the system is truly stable. Also, I think you're in good shape. I tested my i5 8600k for eight hours on Prime 4.8 at 1.28v before increasing it to 5.0ghz. 1.280 is a solid safety margin.

The 1.280 setting is quite safe. I updated to 1.295v, which isn't a major jump. I'm using the XTU stress test.
