The thing is, the higher your CPU temperatures are, the lifespan of your CPU will be shorter. That is why all strongly recommend to mount an aftermarket cooler even on stock settings processors.
You can use OCCT to stress test your CPU and monitor it's temperatures at full load as you gradually overclock it to 4.2 GHz (many people managed to do it and maintain it stable). It's your call to which speeds you want to overclock, you might as well read some guides about it over the internet.
Hope I helped here :)

Thank you so much, both of you.

I apologize for acting as if you weren't answering my question correctly, JuX. It was my stupidity thinking that I was talking about something else. Yeah, I am that stupid... Is that amount legal?

cooler master hyper 212 evo(30$) wish I bought this instead of NH-D14(79$)

Hyper 212 EVO doesn't come with fancy stuff but it works.
Though NH-D14 comes with awesome 2 fans that you could probably use if you change to liquid cool.
