1.51v is suitable for regular use, right? I recently upgraded my h55 and increased the frequency from 4.7(1.45v) to 5ghz(1.51v). Temperatures have stayed within safe limits, around 40c to 45c max. I'm curious if this might affect the motherboard or CPU over time. P.S.: I don't leave the PC on all day or night; I turn it off at night and only turn it on when I'm home for more than two hours.

It's not secure, yet the FX 6300 is outdated, so why not wear it out until it fails and switch to a Ryzen model?

It's not safe, but the FX 6300 is outdated. Shouldn't we use it until it stops working and switch to a Ryzen?
I'm really struggling financially right now, haha. I just want a Ryzen, but the FX 6300 was the only option I could afford at the time. Since I already had the motherboard and RAM, upgrading would mean buying new components, which is quite costly.
