Pretty much as the title says, I've overclocked my system a bit and I've made 2 profiles, 1 for low heat and pretty nice speeds and one just Max heat and speed. I've listed my specs and my overclocks below. For a 24/7 use for at least 4 more years, should I go higher on the voltage and core ratio or say it's fine, I'll keep it like this? If I have to clock everything back down again in 4 years couse it's getting instable I don't really care couse I'll have a new PC by then probably. As long as it just doesn't decide to just stop working in the next 4 years I'm fine with it.

Prime 95 26.6 has ran for 2 hours on both overclocks without crashing, I know they recommend 10 hours but that's to long to sit next to my PC doing nothing so if it crashes in like 3 weeks I probably don't care and just put the voltage up or clocks down.

Haven't overclocked my GPU yet, will do that later as i'm not using my pc to game at the moment.
 
Solution
Those last couple hundred mhz are usually the most costly in terms of volts and therefore heat. You're pushing 78c @ 4.5ghz and you'll need a different cooling solution to try and push higher. Stay under 1.4v and keep those temps under 80c.


True but if i don't lose anything going higher then why not?
 


I just realized I may wasn't 100% clear about what I meant, I meant raising the voltage so I could reach higher clocks like 4.6GHZ or maybe even higher. Sorry for the confusion I may have created.
