    And I'd say 1,5-1,55 is absolute max for running 24/7 without damaging anything. Of course I can only guess, but running 1,6-1,7V QPI will probably degrade CPU and/or mem over time, at least probability is high.

    Yeah and default VTT is 1.1v, 1.7v does seem quite an overvolt for normal use. I guess time will tell.
