Hey guys I recently just put my I5 6600k to 4.5ghz voltage is at 1.3v What temps should I be trying to keep under? also is 1.3v Safe for a day to day use?

I've tried 4.6ghz with this voltage it wont play nice and I don't really want to add more voltage.
 
Solution
It's hard to know for sure what safe voltages and temperatures are for an overclocked CPU. I think many would agree that for 14nm chips, those numbers are 80-85c and 1.4v, but lower voltage means higher temperature is safer, and vice versa. We have very little data to base these numbers off of because CPU failure is so rare and somewhat random.
