i5 4760k voltage limits

I delidded and liquid metal on my CPU, my max is like 65.

I have my volts at 1.350V and avg max load is like 60c.

I know volts are high but could I push it to 1.450V and get like 4.8ghz?

I am comfortable at around 85c max, I keep my fans maxed so no point in having lower temps if I am not pushng clock speeeds

alright, so go ahead, but do it slowly... step by step.

Could 1.450V fry my chip tho?

I think 1.45 is probably the max you would want to run without exotic cooling.

or well... if you put another extra vent in the cooler, maybe you can win some ºC

1.45V is pretty extreme for 24/7 use. Most people consider 1.4V to be a (very high) limit.

Maybe look into LLC/AVX offsets?
