For how long running prime95?

If it doesn't crash after several hours, you're perfectly safe.

Your gonna need around 1.5v for around 5Ghz, but I wouldnt run it at that voltage 24/7 anyway, technically with 32nm chips the slicion is thinner and with so much voltage, will wear out sooner. Might still be a while before it actually dies or w/e, so I might be just paranoid.

In general, I don't like high overclocks for 24/7 use.
