Hi, recently I bought myself a PC that was made to order, and it is wonderful so far! It came pre overclocked to order too. But the other day I was looking at CPU-Z, and I noticed that the voltage is at 1.392V, and some research said that above 1.3V will negatively effect the lifespan of the CPU. I was wondering if my current voltage is unsafe for making my CPU last, and if there is anything I can do to help it's lifespan.
It's currently at a OC of 4.6GHz, and my motherboard is the Gigabyte Z170 gaming-k3. I am using a Corsair H100i V2 with Corsair link. Thanks!

Btw, I will be happy to provide any more info on my PC, if needed. I don't have a very good understanding of overclocking though.

*I will be happy to decrease the OC I currently have if it will increase the lifespan of my PC*

Thanks!
 
Solution
I have the same CPU and cooler, I would just advise using the turbo-boosted 4.2Ghz, it's equal to a 4.5Ghz OC without all of the hassle.
