For Air cooling, obviously. Just speculating...
Don't speculate Youa re about to launch a big snowball effect again... sorry but 1.72Vcore on air is just too much...

For 24/7 users 1.4ish seems okay with a decent cooler. I'm getting 70ish degrees during prime at 4.5 1.29Vcore with a TRUE (single fan)... seems my sweetspot for this 2600K... during gaming it hardly breaches 55°C... pretty safe ( I hope :p)
