Tradesman if he sets the multiplier to 40 and that's it, that wouldn't be stock voltage that would be auto voltage which could supply way more voltage then is needed.
I'd try 1.2v and stress test it, if it passes keep lowering the voltage tell it doesn't pass then raise the voltage back up a notch. If it fails at 1.2v then raise the voltage up on notch.
Just for reference my 6600k is at 4.5ghz with 1.35v
