Almost 6 or 7 months ago by now, I ended up overclocking my FX-6300 to 4.5 GHz. It's really stable according to nearly 24 hours in Prime95 and completing a bunch of IntelBurnTests without fail, but to get to 4.5 I raised my voltage by +0.125 according to my motherboard, iirc (it's been a while and I'm not near my computer to check if that's accurate). From what I remember in CPU-Z, the actual voltage would at most be 1.428 V though it fluctuates below that.
For a long-term overclock, is that good? More and more I've been reading about overclocking haswell lately and I know it's a different chip entirely but people are constantly talking about making sure it's an overclock ready for long term use and so they only raise Haswell to the 1.25 V range or something. So is my overclock also fine at such a high voltage?
