Accidentally Overvolted 8700k

Go to solution Solved by Crunchy Dragon,

Chances of damage are next to nothing if you shut it down immediately after realizing that you overvolted.

So I was messing around with my OC and accidentally set my offset to 0.1 and booted into Windows. I opened up CPU-Z as soon as the desktop came up and saw that my 8700k was getting 1.568v and immediately shut down and switched it back in the BIOS. This was a few hours ago and everything seems to be fine since but being as paranoid as I am, I'm just curious if this might have caused any sort of damage? I'm thinking it should be fine, I never ran anything intensive during this time and the it was only running with this voltage for max 2 minutes but I wanted to make sure.
