Many believe 1.3 is the upper boundary, so I won’t suggest pushing beyond it, but I’ll share my thoughts on the matter. Based on my experience with Intel, they usually stick to more conservative voltage limits for the public. Keep in mind that most users with stock coolers in poor conditions tend to exceed 70°C during intense gaming or CPU-heavy tasks. I’ve found it helpful to increase the max vcore by about 0.02 or 0.03, which has worked well for me. Just remember to use your own judgment—no worries if your CPU overheats unexpectedly.

many say 1.3 is the limit, so I won't suggest going beyond that but I’ll share my thoughts on it. Based on my experience with Intel, they usually keep their voltage limits more conservative for the public. Most users who run the stock cooler in poor conditions tend to exceed 70°C most of the time while gaming or doing CPU-heavy tasks. I’ve always added .02 or .03 to the max vcore, which has worked well for me. But use your own judgment—I won’t be blamed if your CPU overheats unexpectedly.

Each board maker appears to refer to it in a different way. It could be referred to as eventual input voltage or vccin, which is the maximum voltage among them. You can verify this using hwinfo64.
