Hi - I'm currently OC my i7 8700K  to 4.7 Ghz with 1.265 voltage  - temps are in the 40's - i'm using an H100 i

My question is - is this safe for 24/7 use ?

would it be better to go down to 4.2 Ghz at under 1.2 volts ?

should be fine with those specs I ran my old i7 920 for 7 years at ~80C max and close to 1.45V with no issues

 

Intel chips are generally really rock solid
