Cpu cooler used - Arctic liquid freezer II 240mm AIO
PSU used - Be quiet straight power 700W
I do not recommend that anyone should go over 1.4-1.425v on this cpu because:
1. The vrm-s on the motherboard are old (the x79 motherboards are almost 10 years old by now) and can fail.
2. the cpu-s maximum temperature is 91C and it kinda degrades after 82-85C so keep this processor under that temperature if you can.
