So I'm playing with my chip and was wondering where to stop voltage wise. I have a 4.8 GHz overclock with 1.475 volts. Temps are 70-80 degrees celcius under load. Was looking for some other opinions.

1.475 is already pretty high especially for a daily overclock. I myself would want to go higher than 1.4 for a daily OC.

 

Even if your temps are fine high voltage is bad. I can do 1.5V at 60-65C but the voltage is just too much for my liking.
