7700k cpu whats the limit?

Whats the limit in terms of recommended voltage to push through one of these?

Currently got mine at 5ghz with 1.3v it's been delidded & liquid metal applied.
It's also under water & temps around 55-60c under full load. Just interested in how much more headroom there is in this chip.

As a guide at stock volts temps don't go above 45-50c.

Probably no more than 1.4v although personally I would prefer 1.35v or less.

My processor hits a wall at 5.1. A bit like my 3770k @ 4.5. It will happily run at 1.31-1.34v at 5.1 but to go past this it asks for unreasonable voltage imo. I would not be happy going beyond 1.4v on my daily driver.

Thanks, pretty much as I thought. I'm happy with 5ghz so will probably leave it there for 24/7 use.

1.45 is max 24-7 on ambient.
