So 1.4vtt+ is okay then?Precisely. Anandtech based the whole article on a single CPU failure, and concluded it was absolute and conclusive prove that subjecting your CPU with over 1.4V VTT and IT WILL DIE.
Failure indeed.

As with all overvoltage, the risks increases as you add more, but there are no definite and absolute "safe" voltages in any category of overclocking. I've put through 1.5V VTT through my QX9650 on the Maximus Extreme for over 6 months before I realised it wasn't needed, and it is still as meh as the first day I received it.
