Hello everyone, I recently achieved a stable 4.8GHz on my 7800x CPU using 1.250 volts. I tested Cinebench R20 and several CS:GO benchmarks, and everything has been running smoothly so far. The temperatures stayed within acceptable limits, with the core temperature hovering around 77-78°C during runs. I’m using Thermal Grizzly liquid metal and a Corsair H150i radiator. I’m curious if there’s a specific voltage limit for Skylake-X chips or if I can push it higher before thermal throttling occurs. Personally, I’d cap it around 85°C. Thanks for your help!

For consistent daily use over time, staying below 1.40V or 1.45V is advised. A delidded CPU and liquid cooling are necessary to achieve the desired voltage level.

I've already adjusted it and confirmed it works on a 360 radiator AIO. However, I heard someone using around 1.35v for some OC, which seems quite high—likely requiring a custom water loop. Lol, I'll check how far I can push without exceeding 1.4v.
