@harrynowl did 5.6ghz on air, shortly after it died.

It died at 5.8

5.6 actually ran at ~1.56v which while a bit high for 24/7 isn't dangerous on those amds

4.6-4.8ghz for a average one would be decent 24/7 oc then. yours was epic

4.3 is average. trinity isn't very good. rl-a1 is better for ocing.

not sure tbh. they are a6 5400k, 370k and a a4 4000. they are all dual core though so they might use a bit less voltage. the 740 only does 4.33ghz on 1.5v, but i thought that was because it was a locked, low bin cpu.
