any voltage is safe as long as the VRM temps are ok and the CPU temps are fine.

though 1.65v is some srs voltage there.

ok so i will have to route a temp probe thare i dont get a reading for vrm in sofware, vrm usealy good for 110c right so keep it at  80c ish

1.500 Volts or under for 24/7 use. If you have a good motherboard with good power and VRM cooling then you can go alittle higher. 1.55 volt is the recommended maximum for any sustained use but it may degrade the chip over time and could eventually kill it.
