For a 24/7 OC, I'd stay at or under 1.4V. I run 1.4 on my 7700K at 5GHz. Keep in mind that you should also be keeping below 85C.

Your CPU can handle voltage up to 1.5v I believe

Okay I will now jump into the BIOS and set voltage to manual:1.4V @ 5GHZ is that safe?

Oh, and also how much fps should I be getting from this?

 

Depends on the game, but I don't think you're going to see any huge gains. You're already pretty well overclocked at this point.

 

1.4V at 5GHz is safe so long as you're using an adequate cooler. What cooler are you using? Also, you should try a lower voltage. Not all CPUs are created equal, and while my 7700K needs 1.4V for 5GHz, your 7600K may not.

I am using Kraken x62 so I believe it should be fine. Yeah, I will decrease the voltages once I know 1.4 v is stable. So 1.4v is not going to damage my CPU? just making sure

Voltage doesnt directly kill CPU, the increased heat production does. Note that the optimal temperature for the CPU drops when you raise the voltage, so the CPU cooler has to work exponentially harder when you overclock further. At 1.4V, better keep it below 75C. At 1.45V, that drops to 65C.

I tried 1.4V at 5ghz and I got a freeze. Should i go up to 1.45?

you can try, but make sure you increase the radiator fan speed (and pump speed if you can)
