Is 1.304 to 1.310 voltage safe for overclocking an I7 2600k?

stoggs1 · Feb 2, 2020

Hello, I am currently my I7 2600k at 4.2 ghz with 1.3 voltage inside of the Bios. It seems to be stable. My question is this voltage safe? I have a screen shot from Cpu z attached with this post.

Thank you.

Absolutely. Mine ran 4.6@1.35 and still does today for my friend who inherited it. So you could probably lower the voltage or OC further.

Ok thanks, I was using auto tuner to overclock previously but my OC became unstable. I am going to keep it as is for the time being. I might OC further in the future though.

Mine ran for 8 years with about 1,38-1,4V 24/7 but under costume water cooling never got warmer then like 65C°.
These chips can take up 1.45V. Mine did 4,9ghz. Wouldn't go above 1.4v for daily usage.

As has been mentioned already, you're good. That's barely a bump at all. That CPU can safely run on up to 1.375v, but beyond that you'll be pushing the limits of what can be maintained long-term without damage to the CPU.

Asking over 0.06V....?? It naturally fluctuates that much... no worries.

Keep that thing under 1.4V or so and it's fine. Older process can handle the voltage better than these new smaller chips in most cases.
