Your voltage levels appear stable and within acceptable ranges.

I intend to keep my CPU running continuously at 5.2 GHz on an I7 9700K. It’s stable at around 1.392 volts during both gaming and idle times, with temperatures staying under 70°C. Measuring voltage is below 70°C, so I’m concerned about long-term effects. Do you think maintaining 1.4V could affect its lifespan?
voltage increase consistently shortens device life, though not excessively. If voltage remains stable from idle to full capacity, your load calibration might be off. This can affect voltage stability, leading to more fluctuations and potential damage over time. CPU-Z may display inaccurate readings. Which board are you working with?
These aren't great voltage levels, but they won't do much damage... for the 8th and 9th generation up to 1.41 it should be fine.
Utilize HWinfo64 to verify the VR Vout measurement, which reflects the voltage controller's output reading.
Use the voltage that matches your CPU's specifications. Your CPU core voltages (1.295 and 1.3) are close to the recommended range, but confirm with your motherboard manual for exact requirements.
