Is it possible to get buy with less voltage if cooling capacity increases?
Im currently at 1.38v CPU core. Im at 4.9Ghz stable. Using a CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ and getting prime temps maxed in the high 70's to low 80's. Its a hell of an air cooler for
$30. If I can decrease the temps with more aggresive cooling i.e. a water loop, is it possible to maintain 4.9Ghz but with less voltage? Im pretty sure I can get 5Ghz stable with water, most likely a 1.4 CPU core. Im not sure how I feel about keeping the core this high but if I can get the max temps under 70C I wouldnt be too worried.
Also interested in any input regarding what parts to buy considering a HAF X case. Budget $400.
