4790k vcore overclock question

[CoreyL4]

Hi, I have a 4790k at 4.7ghz with a vcore of 1.33. What is the max vcore that would be safe? I want to shoot for 4.8 at around 1.36-1.38

1.35 max safe voltage

It depends on your cooling but a very safe amount is about 1.3V if you wanting to push it a bit and have good cooling such as large aircoolers or liquid cooling you can push it up to 1.35V without any issues.

I can do 4,7 Ghz with the same CPU (4790k) with only 1,19V. Am I lucky? but to achieve 4,8 i need to bump to 1,27 to be stable.

Using NH-D15
