I've been putting a 3770K through it's paces and found that it can run @ 5.1Ghz on water with 1.48v.
Temps are hovering at/or around 68c under load on the hottest core(1) while the rest seem to stick around 59-64c
Anyways, I'm wondering if it's safe to keep the chip at this level as work machine or would these volts cause damage to the CPU on the long run?
For the most part, the chip does very well at lower clocks as the law of diminished returns really puts it's toll things. (ie, 1.25v @ 4.8, 1.28v @ 4.9, 1.35v @ 5Ghz)
