Can a Broadwell handle the same voltage as Skylake chips since both use 14nm technology? It's been noted that Skylake chips can reach up to 1.4 volts or more, while Broadwell typically operates at lower voltages. If temperatures remain within safe limits, could you use your Broadwell chip at the same voltage as others?

Broadwell-E incorporates integrated voltage regulators whereas Skylake lacks this feature, meaning the voltage levels cannot be directly compared.
