Does Voltage Matter If Temps Are Under Control? (4770k)

[iiNrG]

Hi,

I've recently built my first proper OC'ing system and soon i'm going to add to it a full custom water loop using high quality components. My goal is to reach 4.8GHz minimum on my 4770k. I've done a quick test to see how well my chip overclocks on my temporary air cooler, I have a feeling, although i'm not an expert, that my chip isn't the best. My question is this, assuming my cooling loop is keeping the temperaturs as low as possible, lets say 30-35C Idle 65-70C Load, will voltage damage my processor? I think I might need a little extra voltage (1.4V or there abouts) to reach 4.8GHz, and I'm hoping the only damaging aspect of this increased voltage is heat output. Please advise. Thanks.

im not sure about ivy or haswell but 1.4v is pretty darn high but reasonable as long as temps stay under check. i would be looking around the net to find what the common overclock range voltage is for haswell as I'm not sure. but don't be putting ridiculous voltages in even if you have good cooling.
