Looks like it performed well, but the reading was quite low.
Sure, it's okay to think that even if it isn't perfect, it can still work well.
I prefer not to push the CPU beyond its limits because it isn’t covered by warranty.
I’d increase it a bit more... that’s an extremely low voltage. Raise it to 1.28 and observe the results. Overclocking usually doesn’t damage chips unless you’re pushing high currents or voltages. Values below 1.35 are considered completely safe. Between 1.4 and 1.30 remains safe, and wouldn’t affect the chip’s lifespan. I’m confident it’ll perform around 4.8 to 4.9.
