Would you suggest a small OC for a 24/7 PC?My parts are in my signature

Used for gaming, media, some video editing etc, but it's basically on 24/7, though idling over-night. It runs at around 28-33 celcius idle, 55ish during games and 63 was max during AIDA64 stress-test. Only thing I've changed that isn't stock is the memory profile and reduced the voltage from 1.280 to 1.245 (adaptive, offset auto)

I was thinking of clocking it 10%, 4.4ghz - is it even worth it? I prefer longevity, but I suppose these chips are designed to be clocked a bit higher than the default stock and still maintain long-life spans? :)

What do you guys say/think?

You are able to OC your CPU to 4.4GHz or maybe more, with relative ease and you would want to get the most performance from your chip would you not.?

Life span will not be an issue so long as your temps don't go above 65-70C with the OC you choose.

That and correct Dimm settings for XMP profile will make a difference in performance.
Check with CPUz your current Memory and SPD for your XMP profile.
