Quick OC Question

[infiniteCurse]

Hey, To start I have an Asus Z370-E mobo and an 8700k OC to 5.1 with 1.4v. Is that too much voltage? should I back it down to 5.0 1.350v? Too much meaning is it just not safe to run that much voltage in general? As much as I love having 5.1, I just dont wanna cause any damage or anything. Any Input is greatly appreciated, THANKS!

5.1 vs 5.0 is only 1-2% difference, it's really not worth it for the extra heat and lower longevity.. 

also if you could go lower than 1.35v on 5.0 then do that  even though 1.35 is good, but maybe your chip can do lower voltage.

personally i wouldnt go higher than 1.35v for daily usage
