Hi 8Pack
I see from you here as well as others elsewhere that the top recommended Vcore voltage on a 4770K is 1.35v for 24/7 use. I currently have mine at 1.38v for 4.6Ghz but I have delidded it and used Coollaboratory Liquid Pro (successfully) to keep the temps down. As an example, running ASUS Realbench Stress Test for an hour Max Temp was 79c at 1.38v whereas prior to delidding it was 83c at 1.35v.
So... Is the maximum recommended voltage directly related to the max recommended temps ie: if I can keep the temps down through delidding then I can afford to up the voltage past 1.35v for a 24/7 OC? That is after all why I took the lid off in the first place...
I just don't want to damage my chip by pushing voltage too far.
