If you got proper cooling then Vcore=1.5v can be OK for 24/7, but how much "unsafe" VVT you are pushing for those Uncore>@4200 24/7? VVT may be a bigger problem, not because it will necessarily kill you (even tho this may do it faster than high Vcore), but because it puts too much stress/heat on PWM/system, and the CPU-temp raises too.

The extra stress/heat generated by high VVT and Uncore (x5 RAM multi) was so much that I found it to be far from "sweet spot" for 24/7 use (at least on my setup).
Im running 1.45vtt with 12gb ram. 6gb it needs alot less. I know its alot more then intel recommends but I even ram my old P45 with 1.55v for a year no problems. I have fan's blowing on my PWM's so they don't get too hot under load. I'm not afraid to push voltages at all as long as temps are ok...

On AIR cooling, high uncore and VTT can make a huge temp difference, but water is very minimal so I can run as high Uncore as I want and only have a couple degrees difference.

You just want a CPU-z shot of 4.5ghz?
