24/7 OC for 6600K safe?

[BlankInsanity]

So I managed to OC my 6600K to 4.2Ghz. I nice clock for my needs nothing major.

Stats are as follows:
Clock: 4.2Ghz
VCore: 1.19V
Cooling: X52 Kraken

Max Temp: 54C-56C

My question is, is this safe to run for 24/7 and not worry about degradation. I run an ubuntu server on Hyper-V hence the question.

Heat is the killer of just about any part, but if you can keep the temps to what level you're on now, I imagine you'll still have a good long while before it needs replacement, and even then, it'll be because the CPU's architecture/socket has become obsolescent.

Those temps and voltages sound perfect for day to day use. I wouldn't worry about it. You could probably go a little higher and be fine. However, the payoff with a higher OC I have found is not often worth the risk. I like to figure out what my chip is capable of, then scale it back to a comfortable level for day to day.
