Max safe temp/max safe Vcore i7 2600K sandy bridge?

[matt_griff]

Hi, im trying a bit of overclocking with my i7 2600K Sandy bridge setup.

spec is
Asus P8P67 Pro
i7 2600K
GeIL 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz VALUE PLUS Dual Channel
Noctua NH-D14

My setting are

BCLK - 100
Multiplier - 46
Vcore 1.250
Internal PLL voltage - Disabled
Memory frequency 1600MHz
Ram Timings are, 9-9-9-28

Load-line calibration - Auto
VRM Frequency - Auto
VRM spread spectrum - Disabled
Phase Control - Standard
Duty control - T.Probe
Cpu Current capability 100%
CPU Voltage - 1.250
Dram voltage 1.600
VCCSA Voltage - Auto
VCCIO Voltage - Auto
CPU PLL Voltage - Auto
PCH Voltage - Auto
DRAM DATA REF Voltage on CHA - Auto
DRAM CTRL REF Voltage on CHA - Auto
DRAM DATA REF Voltage on CHB - Auto
DRAM CTRL REF Voltage on CHB - Auto
CPU Speed spectrum - Auto

using Intel Burn test V2.54

Max temp core #0 -- 57c
Max temp core #1 -- 65c
Max temp core #2 -- 66c
Max temp core #3 -- 63c

everything is stable but i want to know what the limits of the vcore and max temp is?

Thanks
Matthew

From OCUK;

***OVERCLOCKING GUIDELINES***

- Do not exceed 1.425v core voltage, doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Aim to keep temperatures below 70c underload if at all possible
- Do not overclock with BCLK, again doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Recommended memory voltage is 1.50v, so make sure to run your memory at 1.50v, higher than 1.60v could limit lifespan of the CPU
- These recommendations come from OcUK and Intel, your warranty is un-affected but we highly recommend you adhere to the above to make sure your CPU lifespan is un-affected
- All Sandybridge CPU's worldwide should be run at the above or lower voltages, no higher!
