AMD fx 6300 4.3 Ghz and 4.4 Ghz results

[Max7777]

My original intention was to overclock my AMD fx 6300 to 4.5 Ghz, but judging from the following results, maybe I should be content with 4.3 Ghz or 4.4 Ghz.

My mobo is an ASUS M5A88-EVO and my cooler is a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 evo.
I have disabled all the features that could hinder the overclocking.

My results:

4.3 Ghz, 1 hour OCCT, VCore 1.422 V, temp < 45°C

4.4 Ghz, 2 hours OCCT, VCore 1.459 V, temp < 45°C

I think that my temps are really good, but that 1.459 V for the 4.4 Ghz case does not convince me too much. In the bios I have read that it can fluctuate between -0.03 and +0.05, so I could potentially hit 1.51V which is a little too near the safety limit of 1.55V for my tastes.

Maybe I am worrying too much and I should just go for the 4.4Ghz?

Now, I am going to run the tests on OCCT for 3 hours like the official website suggests. I was just checking what parameters in bios will probably result in a stable system.

I have made longer tests:
4.2 GHz, 1.41 V
4.3 GHz, 1.43 V
4.4 GHz, 1.46 V

Temps were always less than 45°C.

I was thinking to use 4.4 Ghz when playing and 4.2Ghz for daily use.
What do you think about the voltages?

My chip's original voltage for 3.5Ghz was 1.38 V which was already a bit high.

4.3 GHz, 1.45 V
Constant temps between 40 to 45

Windows 7 or 8? I think you can get it stable at lower voltages under windows 8.

I have a m5a97 r2.0 evo with FX 6300 with a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo. After 2 hours of Prime 95 I am able to get 4.4Ghz running at 1.275 max with a max temp of 53C on load 32C on idle. Maybe I'm just lucky?!?
