What would you guys consider a safe 24/7 voltage for 8700k?

It really depends on the config of your PC. Its almost certain with every system there's a different sweet spot. So can't really say for sure. Depends on PSU, Mobo and the CPU itself. It's called the Silicon Lottery

I would say no more than 1.35 volts running under 75c.

one thing to note is that all i7-8700k's can overclock to 4.6ghz at 1.16V, i have mine like this and its running really good with my Hyper 212 Evo 

and also even 5ghz is considered a safe 24/7 overclock  if you can overclock to 5ghz at a reasonable voltage ofc.. somewhere around 1.33 to 1.36 (if you can achieve 5ghz with lower voltage then hell yeah go for it)

 

if you need alot more voltage for 5ghz then i would go with 4.8ghz.

Without substantial cooling or a delid, or both, I'd say 1.35v for everyday usage.

I got custom waterloop (5x120mm) + liquid metal delid.

Watched a video from Der 8auer and he said that 1.40v is just fine for 8700k 24/7 usage (because some chips apparently run at 1.4v at stock settings). It just sounds a bit high to me.

Ooft. That is a perfect setup. With that loop still, keep it under 1.35 volts. What is the highest overclock you can do with it running under 1.30v that is stable?

II suggest to to run it bellow 1.3 volts and 4.5 ghz.

 

And run it cooler about near 45-55 degrees. For better cpu life.

 

And 1.4 volt is fine but.

Running at 1.2 volts make it stable and keep cool. And increase its life also.
