Hey everyone, I'm starting to overclock my CPU, and I left the voltage in the bios to automatic and then I overclocked, when I turned my PC on, it was at 1.4 volts, and I thought that it kinda high, so I was wondering, is 1.4 volts too much? And whats safest voltage for overclocking?

It´s kinda hard to say something like "From exactly 1.xxV on, you will have degradation."

Most overclockers advice to stay under 1.45V assuming you can keep the temps down.
But I have also seen a few videos with/from JJ from Asus who said he wouldn´t advice on going any higher than 1.3V (or I believe it was even lower than that) for a permanent overclock.
