overclock 6850k OC - Golden CPU?

[fuj1n]

I have just overclocked my 6850k to 4.5GHz and raised the voltage to 1.4V.

 

The system seems stable (although I'll try to find the balance between voltage and clock speed after the stability test),

I was wondering if 1.4 volts is in any way too much (I don't think I am comfortable going any higher than 1.4).

 

The stability test from Intel Extreme Tuning Utility reports 60-70 degrees (c) temperatures.

I spent less on my GPU

I just had a spare cooler laying around for about a year, so I used it, although I am really happy with it.
