6700k safe Voltage

[Ermodo]

Hey,

 

I just wanted to ask if 1.360V are safe for a System, that will be running nearly everyday (normal use, not full load).

It seems a little high for my liking but i would say your probably ok. I wouldnt worry about it to much just understand that the higher the voltage, the more likely you CPU will die earlier in its life.

so for a system running that long I should lower it?

[Ermodo]

also I put + .65V on it     so 1.29V is the standard? That seems a lot for a non oc-chip

as long as you have adequate cooling that will be fine

 

what are you temps at idle and under load (use something like real bench or aida64 to test)?

what cooler are you using

I'm using Nocuta's NH-D15 with only 1 fan installed.  Idle temps are around room temperature (24°C) and Load temperature are around 60 (max. 70)

those are fine temps

1.35V was Intel's maximum for the 2500/3930 CPUs. Voltages have dropped since then by default, I strongly suspect the safe operating voltage has as well. Its not just about temperature, volts is what actually kills CPUs and temperature just accelerates the process.

k, I reverted it to stock and will try a lower overclock later in the future.
