Anything under 1.3v and 85c load (prime95 avx) is good for 24/7 use. Depending on setup, 4.4ghz should be an easy target. Over that requires a lot more volts and tweaking.

yep, try to keep the volts between 1.2-1.3vcore and usually you can achieve between 4.2-4.5Ghz stable with that.

Anywhere between 4.0 and 4.5ghz depending on how your temps are.
Those chips are so fast though even at stock that overclocking brings little benefit in most circumstances.
So don't worry if you can't get near to 4.5ghz

you are governed more by temps than volts, the volts will get you a high clock speed but the temps will rocket unless you delid your cpu.
it is widely excepted to use 1.4v for 24/7 with sufficient cooling but even those with triple rad water cooled set ups you will be held back by volts.
I delidded mine and have my 3770k (which runs hotter due to hyper threading) running at 4.8GHz @ 1.4v but for the average user 1.28v and 4.5GHz with temps peaking at 70c is the norm.

NO! as long as you are with in safe limits for temp and volts you can run a cpu 24/7/365!!
temps below 90c
volts below 1.45v
degredation of the cpu happens when you mix high volts and high temps keep them both down and you will be fine. like i said on air most can only do 4.5GHz @1.28v hitting 80c+ but that is fine for 24/7.
if you buy a retail cpu and it dies you get three years Warranty so there is nothing to worry about, even if you kill it by oc'ing to much you just send it back.
Massive thank you for the help. Everyone
When it all arrives (thursday) i'll begin fiddling and tell you how it goes
Can't wait!

Agree with this. I'm sitting on 1.280vcore on 4.5Ghz and here's my temps running my cpu 100% all day. I'm fully stable, but going to/over 1.3vcore I get 80c+ and usually want to avoid going there for 24/7 100% use. Temps increase a bit when gaming, but that's fine as I don't game all day, so hitting high 70s for a few hours is alright.
Strange thing to note is I set the vcore to 1.280v but it showed up as 1.3+ on cpuz and I only got it down to the value below by lowing the igpu volts (IMC?) to their min. Make sure to put the igpu clock freq down as well and this helps with temps.

The igpu has nothing to do with the imc but i have lowered the igpu as well before i delidded mine and it did drop about 5c off load but put it back up as i run virtu MVP
8pack lol just very lol, some of us dont live in the antarctic
