Hello, I'm wondering what the maximum safe operating temperature is I can reach without reducing the CPU's lifespan. My best result has been 4.6 across all cores at a peak of 1.3 volts, with the package showing 70°C and the AI suite marking it as 69°C. The AI suggests that 1.3 volts might be too high, and I'm hoping for something closer to 4.7 or 4.8. I'm concerned about being too aggressive with the OCR settings on air.

The closer the color is to red, the less suitable it is for the processor's lifespan (and other system parts). If you're running at 1.3v, you're already over the limit. For that specific processor, aim for 1.25v to 1.27v. Also, could you share your current ambient air temperature along with the motherboard model, chassis type, and power supply unit?

the ambient temperature is around mid-30s, the idle temps are in the high 20s, the 1.300 was a custom ai setting, the board is an asus h97 pro gamer, and the psu is a corsair rm750i with an msi 1070gamingx
