Intel specifies voltage limits in their Product Specification Sheets (PDFs). My experience is, running 1.52V vcore is much too high for watercooling, especially combined with transient load line overshoot (micro sec spikes). And as stated in the footnotes of the voltage tables, the 1.52V limit REQUIRES all other conditions are met. So, 1.52V may be "fine" if you never exceed the TDP and IAcc limits. Stick with low to mid 1.3V for 24/7 use.
