i5 7600k Safe Voltages

I just put together my new PC, consisting of the following:

  • an i5 7600k
  • An ASRock Z270 Killer SLI/ac motherboard
  • 8GB (2x4GB) of Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (2400 MHz)
  • a Sapphire RX 470 4GB
  • a Corsair H100i v2

I managed to dial in a 5GHz overclock, mostly stable. Under load, the voltage stays at 1.360 V, spiking up to 1.440 V occasionally. Is this a safe level for Kaby Lake? This is my first time overclocking, and I want to keep a nice and long lifespan of my new PC.

 

Thanks

set it to manual voltage and see what voltage you need for it to be stable

iirc, 1.45v is the safe limit for kaby lake

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.
