    [SOLVED] i7 9700K 5.1 GHZ 1.39V AVG. - Is it safe?

    Hello! I managed to get my 9700K to 5.1 GHZ Stable on 1.39 Volts average. Maximum peaks are up to 1.44V - those are only peaks, it doesn't stay there. Temperatures are good -> 68-74C when playing CPU intensive games. Is it safe in the long term? Should I keep it like that? Thanks!

    [SOLVED] I7-8700k no longer overclocks to 5.6ghz on 1.5v.

    I have had this I7-8700k at 5.6ghz on 1.5v for about 4 months now and no bsods or anything in games or benchmarks, but now I started having bsods and freezes for no reason. Is this caused by some error with windows or something?
