Do you want 4.5ghz as a 24/7 clock? Or just for benching?

I might try that. I got mine to 3.9 a while ago, then I stopped. It sounds pretty good though. If you get yours to 4.5GHz and plan to keep it like that, I suggest you think about water cooling.

24/7 on air would be nice but cpu life will be at risk ??
so does anyone know what i can do again to attain 4.5 ghz i can get the multiplier up but i dont know what voltage the cpu will want and stuff(Im a OC noob)

4.5ghz is a bit high for a 24/7 clock IMO, there is no real difference from say 4.2-3 that you would notice outside of benchmarks.

Push to see how high you can get a CPUz validation, its pretty fun to get into the 4.7ghz+ range.

72*C in prime isn't too bad. I've gone up to 88*C and never had problems.
