Safe OC 5280k?

[SXTC]

I read online that you can safely OC a 4820k to 4.4 or 4.5 using 1.36v (pref. under 1.3v), and by cooling it so it stays under 70°C.

This should only take 2years off its life expectancy and it should still live about 8 years... is this correct?

My goal is to use my system for 5 years. Please an update or a confirmation so I'll know what to do.

I want to be future proof when it comes down to multitasking and directx 12 gaming.

1.3V is a pretty safe bet IMO for a 5820k

and aiming for 70c is also a pretty safe bet, it won't affect your cpu's lifespan that much since your cpu is built for overclocking.

Awsome, thanks for the update.

If someone else can confirm this I'll be realy convinced (I'm scared when it comes about money cuss I have enough to only take one shot at this...)

For 5 years... 1.36v is OK. 1.3v is safe. Wouldn't hit or break 1.4v.

Longevity depends in large part to usage. When people say they want '24/7 safe overclock', rarely do the people actually use their CPU 100% 24/7. And there's different levels of 100% load. So are you just gaming? Or do you do something that taxes the CPU to 100% at night when you're sleeping?
