Hello,
I am about to upgrade my watercooling system and i am wondering how far I can push my CPU with it? I want to go all out. I am buying 4 rads 1x 420x55mm (ek); 2x 140mm x 55mm (ek); 1x low profile 240mm x 30mm (xspc). Iam cooling everything: motherboard, RAM, CPU, and 3 gpus. I might even add a 5th 360mm x 30mm radiator if i can find the room. I want it super cool and super quiet. I'm going with the koolance CPU-380i, which was rated the best on many reviews.

I am wondering how much more voltage i can get away with pushing through my CPU with a good WC system. Right now i have the H100i. I have good temps, but i want the versatility and the control and the silence of a good system.

So how much more can I get away with without frying my cpu in a couple years??? (or overnight lol)

You'll hit a thermal ceiling around 1.35 or 1.4V that's assuming your chip doesn't suck.

There is no official safe voltage. But for the sake of your CPU, I'd recommend you keep the vcore below 1.4V.

What is the MAXIMUM voltage for the 5960x on R5E???
