Maximum safe voltage rating for Skylake-X Max is 220 volts.
Maximum safe voltage rating for Skylake-X Max is 220 volts.
Hi everyone, I recently changed the thermal paste in my 7820X and used liquid metal instead. Now I'm achieving stable performance at 4.9GHz with temperatures around 80°C on a custom loop. The voltages are set at 1.330V for Vcore, 2.1V for VCCin, and I haven't adjusted VCCio, VCCsa or mesh yet. My main concern is the safe Vcore voltage for Skylake-X, especially if I want the CPU to remain reliable for another year. I've managed to run Cinebench R15 at 5.0GHz with a 1.35V Vcore and still good temps. I'm eager to reach that 5.0GHz but worried about pushing too high without guidance. Also, is it possible to harm a CPU by applying excessive voltage even if temperatures stay well below the maximum limit? Thanks, James
