As long as it stays within 1.3 to 1.4v, it should work fine. The max Intel spec is around 1.35v, and these chips can handle up to 1.4 or even 1.42v as long as you maintain proper cooling.

It really depends on the luck of the draw. My 8700k chip performs well at 5.0 GHZ with 1.300v. If I upgraded it and paid closer attention, I might achieve even better results. The key is to run a proper stress test and confirm its stability. Maybe the OP had a fortunate chip!

The maximum safe temperature is 100°C, which means staying within that range ensures safety.

You can run a voltage benchmark using tools like Prime95 or AIDA64's built-in utilities. Ensure CPUZ is enabled and then execute the stress test to monitor voltage levels.

It's not completely secure—it exceeds the expected limits and cancels the warranty. Still, under the OP's rules it seems acceptable as long as voltages stay within range and thorough testing is done. I confirmed that.

I'm currently using my Mac, so I can't test it right now. However, if you watch a YouTube video, someone should be able to help you.

Review the stability assessment in CPUz, noting the VID section. Under load, observe its behavior. For a genuine test, run AIDA64 for about 24 hours. How long did the XTU testing last?

Just discovered it, thanks. I didn’t run it for too long—just about an hour.

However I adjusted the voltage offset back to the standard setting and the AIDA64 CPU is operating at 4.95ghz and occasionally 5.0ghz, while it consistently stays around 60°C

Testing at steady 5.00ghz with stable 1.33-1.35V across 70-75°C using AIDA-64 load
