not really important. still, there is no guarantee that you can hit 4.8-4.9GHz stable.
also, when talking about high voltages (1.3 and up), it puts quite a bit of stress on the motherboard VRM.
Not all motherboards can do continuously over 60 amperes for the CPU.
the max OC depends on many things.
luck with CPU is one of the most important.
since you are getting 4.5GHz at 1.29v, I doubt you will reach 4.9GHz at all.
as for cooler, while H110i is nice, it's still a toy. Proper AiO would be Swiftech H220/240 X2 and EK Predator 240 or 280.
