Hello all, I have an I7-6700K running at 4.5GHz on 1.230v stable under full load.The temps are 28C at idle and 66C under 100% load. The Motherboard I am overcloking on is a Gigabyte G1 Gaming 7. The cooler I am using is a Corsair H100i V2 with IC Diamond thermal compound. Are these safe temps and voltages to run for prolonged periods of time? Would this be considered too low of a voltage, and actually degrade my chip faster? Finally, would it be better to have the voltage set to static rather than adaptive? All of the readings are from Intel XTU.

I use almost the exact same setup (6700k + H100i V2 + MSI Gaming M5), and am able to push the OC to 4,6 ghz at 1,27V (might be 1,3V can't remember atm). I get similar temps and have been running that for close to 1,5 years with no problems so far. So I would consider the volt/temps safe.
There is no doubt that it will affect the lifespan of the CPU in the long run. But the question is if the CPU would be old and uncompetetive at that point anyway, compared to future offerings when that happens, so for me it doesn't really matter.
When OC'ing you want to have as low a Core voltage as possible, and still be stable. If your temps are ok (and they look like it), and you dont get random crashes don't worry
Static voltage is generally...

Static voltage is generally not recommended for everyday use, since you force the max voltage all the time, and thus degrade the CPU in the long run. Static voltage can be useful when you try to stress test the CPU, in order to find the max stable OC, but only in short amounts of time.
