What's the max vcore rating on a FX-4300? What's safe?

Hi,

I have a AMD FX-4300 clocked to 4.83GHz (22.5multi, 214.70MHz bus speed, 2147MHz HT Link)
My VCORE is 1.50, and goes up to 1.524 under prime95 load. CPU max measured temp is 59C, VRM max measured atm 62C, but would probably go up to 70C. NB does not exceed 55C. My CPU/NB voltage and NB voltage is just increased a few increments.

So.. Is this CPU voltage safe, or is it a big no-no? If it's safe, what is the absolutely maximum vcore?

It isnt a 24/7 pc. The pc is shutted down when im sleeping. But sometimes there will be days that its on 2-3 days.

MoBo: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
 
That's a bit high on the voltage but of course it's different for every chip. Most the OC's I've seen in the 4.8 range are running about the 1.47v range. Have you been unable to make a stable pass with less voltage? Are manually overclocking or are you using onboard or utility turbo core?
