Turning down my CPU voltage

[OfficialJsP]

Ok so I am wanting to turn down my voltage on my CPU (FX-8350) a bit currently the max I have seen it at is 1.456v I would also like to point out that I am running it at stock speed the point of this is to try and run it cooler. Now I know all CPU are different but what voltage should I be aiming for at stock speed?

Instead of aiming for a voltage - which is what frankly subjective - bump it down slowly, stress testing each time. No one can definitively tell you that you'll be able to achieve an x amount of voltage. It depends on your chip.

I know all chips are different I said that in my post but do you think that 1.456v is currently a bit hight for stock clock speeds also how long would you normal stress test for?

10 minutes is what I usually do. After I'm finished with what I'm doing(overclocking, undervolting, etc), I give it a final stress test for maybe an hour. But don't focus on stress tests exclusively. Run real tasks on your computer to give the CPU a real world workload.
