I'm currently running an overclock set on 4.5 GHz at 1.3 Volts. I would like to push it higher but I am not sure how much I should allow the voltage to go up to. Maybe 1.4? 1.45? I am running and h110i 280mm radiator and I am getting great temps. So I see no problem in pushing it higher till it either crashes or gets too hot.
 
Solution
I would to go over 1.35v myself for 24/7 use. Beyond that, the power draw and voltage may shorten the lifespan considerably, even if temps are OK. Also, you should be cooling the VRMs if you plan on going higher than you are now. At 1.4 -1.45v, temps will skyrocket.
