If you can go beyond 4.5 then why not? So long as it's stable.
Because it doesn't give any benefits? Why would you do something that doesn't help you?

True, but that's not a reasonable reason.

And you can gauge how helpful that is to the OP in gaming. Games work differently.
I will test it if you want me to.
I am not trying to argue either way, but I do not see any gains in BF3 @ 4.3GHz vs stock. However I am not running 1080p+ resolutions, so that is not to say that there is a place where it could benefit from OCing.If you don't think overclocking SB or IB helps games you haven't got a clue.

What made you assume I didn't think it helps games. It does, but not enough.
Im sorry but there is just so much evidence around showing that you're wrong its not funny. Just google it.
Oh, I have googled it and can show you where it doesn't help. BTW, settings of the GPU do not matter. It's funny how people think just because they have more posts they are smarter than the other. Not everything is explained through benchmarks. Logic plays into it too (referring to the settings of the GPU).

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2012/05/01/intel-core-i5-3570k-cpu-review/8At 5GHz, the Core i5-3570K posted the fastest image editing score in the graphs, bettering the likes of the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition by quite some margin. Interestingly, the boost was enough to better the Core i7-2600K in our video encoding test too - not bad considering the two CPUs were both clocked at 5GHz, yet the older CPU was equipped with hyper-threading. Arma II: Operation Arrowhead saw a hefty boost in frame rates over the stock speed numbers but the increase in Shogun 2: Total War CPU Test was nothing short of spectacular, with the Core i5-3570K coming top by a noticeable margin, clearly due to its higher clock speed over the Core i7-3770K .
