How long your CPU would operate under those conditions depends on various factors, including its power consumption and thermal management. To get an accurate estimate, you'd need to consider the specific model and its specifications. Generally, checking the manufacturer's guidelines or using performance testing tools can provide more precise insights.

For 1.40v it works with the h115i, but at 1.45v you’d require a minimum of 360mm radius. Keep in mind you’re not doing a full disassembly.

1.4 is the upper limit if you aim to extend your CPU's lifespan. 1.45v poses a higher chance of faster wear. Also, because you're not replacing the cooling system, 1.4 remains the best option unless you have an extremely powerful cooling setup. 1.45 generally demands top-tier AIOs or a well-optimized custom loop.

For cooling, a Corsair Hydro h115i AIO should suffice?

The system is quite high. You need to reach 5.0GHz at 1.30-1.35v. Have you updated the BIOS and turned on LLC at levels 4-5 (50%) (Load Line Calibration)? Also, did you enable power saving? Anything above 1.40v will cause CPU issues. Maintain a daily maximum temperature under 75°C or 85°C during testing.

For 1.40v the h115i works well, at 1.45v you'd need a minimum of 360mm rad. Since you're not doing a full desoldering, your CPU should still function at 5GHz.

For 1.40v the h115i should work, but for 1.45v you’d need at least a 360mm rad. Since you’re not doing a delid, this isn’t ideal. It’s better to go lower than that. At 1.4v it will vary slightly up and down. Any voltage will cause this. Keeping it stable will wear out your CPU over time. At 1.45v you’ll need a custom loop and a delid. A standard 360aio won’t suffice. Look for a better spot and pair it with an LLC controller.
