AMD 6300 Okay overclock for 24/7?

[JoshuaT99]

I recently decided to get into overclocking to get more performance; I am up to, stably, 4.5GHz with a CPU voltage of 1.47500. It seems like that is to much voltage for just 4.5Ghz but I guess not every CPU will overclock the same. So my question is will this overclock be okay for 24/7 use? My worry is that the CPU will prematurely die due to the high voltage. Thanks!

What are your temps like?
Perhaps it would make sense to lower your OC to 4.3GHz and then see how much you can lower the voltage. What motherboard do you have?

I get about 62c under load 20c idle and as for the motherboard I am using the ASUS Crosshair V Formula.

Hmmm, those temps aren't bad. Still, unless you need the performance, it might be safer to try to lower the voltage if you can, even if it means losing a few hundred MHz on your OC. If necessary, you might make up for it by pushing the Northbridge a little.
