is 1.328v to much voltage to give a i7 4790k for evreyday use ? will that much voltage degrade my cpu fast ?

I recently delidid my i7 4790k using coollaboratory liquid pro in between the die and the hs so my temperatures are very good @ 4.7ghz I use 1.255v typed in my bios and 1.28v in cpu-z under full load and my temp is 66c . and @ 4.8ghz I use 1.295v in my bios and 1.328v in cpu-z under full load and my max temp is 69c . is it safe to keep my i7 4790k @ 4.8ghz using 1.295v in my bios and 1.328v under full load in cpu-z ? or will my i7 4790k degrade quickly ? and is the i7 4790k able to take more voltage then a i7 4770k with out degrading ?

guys i have it stable on 4.8ghz on air 1.275v core bios with 1.8750 Vccin.


24hrs stressed blend with prime95.. i didnt make stress on Small because small is mostly times allright.. blend is causing always most of the errors..

i want go further but my tempst wouldnt let me do i think. i reached 92c max with one of the cores.. others went 87 a 89 or so. but this happends only when stressing. normal use of gaming it wont pass 65c.. mostly times 60.

i can go further.. max temp 100 while stressing.. 101 would shutdown the system for security.. if i saying good security safe etc.

What can you guys tell about this for now.. ?
 
All I know is that I have a delid 4790K running at all 4 core turbo @ 4.6ghz using 1.25vid/1.72vcin and OCCT test is avg 82C. I have a Thermatake Water 2.0 Pro (1x120mm rad)... and personally I think it's sucking.

I am seriously debating to get rid of my Water 2.0 Pro and getting the Swiftech H220-X
 

Research delidding either using a Table Vice + Wooden Block & Hammer or the Table Vice only (Easy & highly recommended) method.
You can drop your temps by 20c if you use coolaboratory liquid pro between the die & IHS and Indigo XTreme XS on the heat sink.
By reducing the temps, you get more thermal headroom to continue to increase your voltage :)
