I'm uncertain about the details you provided, but here are the specifications you shared.
As long as your temperatures stay below 80c, everything is okay.
Aim for the lowest possible voltage and temperature. The maximum allowed is 1.4.
Begin at 4.8 with a voltage of 1.280 and monitor your readings under prime95 v26.6 (large FFT for most thermal data).
If the readings remain stable for some time and stay under 80c, reduce the voltage by 0.005 and reassess. Repeat this process until you reach your instability threshold, then increase back up once. If temperatures reach around 70, attempt to raise them slightly to 4.9 with a 0.05 increase above the current 4.8 voltage and check stability.
If stable, continue adjusting voltage in small increments of 0.005.

If temperatures hover around 70c, attempt to raise them to 4.9 with a 0.05 increase from the current 4.8 voltage and check stability. If stable, further reductions in voltage can be tested in 0.005 increments. If temperatures remain low (~70), consider increasing to 5.0 but verify if a 0.05 boost from 4.9 is feasible.
