Is it safe to run my OC for this length of time?

Hi there. Just wondering if it is safe for me to run my overclocked CPU for the length of time my PC is on. It's an i5 750 @ 3.8GHz, vcore @ 1.3V, QPI/VTT @ 1.20 and XMP enabled to get my Ram to run at its specified ratings of 1600MHz 8-8-8-24. The system is, on average, turned on for about 16 hours each day and I'm just nervours that my CPU is not going to last that long...
Any help guys would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

It depends on your temps, the voltages are fine as long as you are running safe temps.

What temps are you getting idle/load?

Idle seems to be anywhere between 35 - 38 degrees and at load it never hits 70

That should be fine, enjoy your extra Mhz at 0 cost!
