Hoping for a definitive answer on what a 'safe' 24/7 voltage limit is for the 7700K. I'm currently running at 4.8Ghz at 1.250v fully stable. 4.9 is achievable at 1.3.

Does anyone run their chip beyond 1.3v?
 
1.4 is generally considered the safe maximum.

So I'd say your good to go.

Skylake chips unlike haswell liked a little more voltage.
 
I would go as high as 1.4v for benching but ideally would prefer 1.35v or lower (just my preference) for 24/7 usage. I beleive that 8pack says 1.4v is fine for Kabylake. You have no need to worry with 1.3v, just keep a eye on temps.
