Check if running at 82°C with a 4.74GHz clock is within safe limits.
Hello,
I'm running Corsair 100i v2 AIO cooler and have overclocked my Intel Core i7-7700K to 4.74Ghz. Current idle temps are between 30-36°C, and the max under stress stays below 15 minutes at 82°C. Is this temperature safe and stable?
Additionally, I ran a benchmark with XTU.
Room temperature is about 22°C, and my motherboard is ASUS ROG Maximus IX Code I, which was overclocked from Auto but now uses a high voltage of 1.328V.

Dunlop0078 shared their thoughts on the situation. They mentioned that 1.32v might be too high and suggested trying a lower voltage like 1.28v to check if temperatures drop. They noted difficulty with auto overclocking, as it often adds unnecessary voltage. There was confusion about BIOS settings and whether changing CPU core voltage override options would help.
Yeah, it's still safe. 1.32v might be a bit too high, but I can reach 4.7ghz at 1.25v with my 7700k. I don't like auto overclocking because it often adds more voltage than necessary.

Yeah, it's safe anyway. 1.32v is likly a bit excessive, I can hit 4.7ghz at 1.25v with my 7700k. I am not a fan of auto overclocking it always seems to apply more voltage than is actually needed.
Can I leave the current settings and only change the voltage to something like 1.28V and see if I can get lower temps?
I tried changing CPU voltage from Auto to Manual but there is no option to enter a new voltage there is a black field that says 1.2V beside it in BIOS, but CPU-Z is showing 1.328V

They noted difficulty with auto overclocking, as it often adds unnecessary voltage. There was confusion about BIOS settings and CPU-Z readings, but adjusting 'CPU Core/cache Voltage' manually could help avoid the grayed-out option.
