KLaus updated the report. After an hour of Aida 65, the CPU reached a peak temperature of 65 degrees at 4.1Ghz with a core voltage of 1.10V for most of the time. That's impressive. You can safely boost the clock speeds by 100MHz or more. If stability issues arise, slightly increase the voltage—about 0.01VCore. Since your voltage is already low, you shouldn't worry about damaging your CPU. For regular use, 1.3VCore would be sufficient, though overclocking isn't necessary unless you're planning a major jump.

After an hour of Aida 65, the [email protected] with a 1.10Vcore reached a peak temperature of 65 degrees, mostly staying around 50 degrees for most of the time. That's impressive. You can safely boost the clock speeds by 100MHz or more. If stability isn't guaranteed, slightly increase the voltage—just a bit, around 0.01VCore. Your current voltage is already low, so don’t worry about harming your CPU. For regular use, you could try 1.3VCore, though overclocking isn’t necessary unless you’re planning it heavily.
Thanks for all the advice!
Could shifting backward from 1.10v at 4.1Ghz be feasible, given that other discussions suggest 1.08 might be achievable?
Do you think it's feasible to decrease the voltage from 1.10v for 4.1Ghz, considering other threads suggest 1.08 is reachable? Keep in mind that each CPU overcomes the process differently—some might achieve that low voltage while yours won't. Proceed with lowering the voltage. After booting into Windows, perform a stress test lasting half an hour to ensure stability. If everything holds, further reduce the voltage by 0.02. Should the system still crash, increase the voltage by 0.01 and retest. If it remains stable, that's the maximum safe setting for that speed. If it fails again, you won't be able to lower the voltage any more at that level.
