Is my CPU safe?

So, I'm in the middle of my first ever OC attempt with an i5 4670K on air. Just made it through intel burn test with 4.5ghz and 1.270V with max temp of 82C. Now I'm about to start testing with aida for a few minutes and prime for a few hours, but I guess it will be stable. With 4.6ghz and 1.280V it would bsod in IBT, so I tuned it down cause don't wanna get the voltage too close to 1.3V. So, is my CPU safe? Will it degrade faster? Going to set voltages to adaptive after I know it's stable to keep it from running on high voltages all the time.
 
Solution


You wouldn't want to see 85*C. on a 24/7 basis but for short stress testing, that's OK.

Your OC is quite safe and your CPU should last a long time.

The second part of it is playing BF3 a little and discovering real life temps. At idle and web surfing it sits at 32C with 27C room temp
