Is it safe to keep 5930k Overclocked at 4.3Ghz with 1.2 volts running constantly?

Hi guys, sorry if this is a silly question, but this is my first post and just want to ask to be on the safe side.

I have managed to get a stable Overclock of 4.3Ghz on my i7 5930k at 1.2v, but the CPU constantly runs at 1.2v. Do I run the risk of damaging my CPU in the long run by keeping it like this? Temps are around 55 degrees under load with an all in one water cooler, and the speeds throttle back down as low as 1200Mhz when the system is at idle.

Thank you in advance!

I'm using Aida 64 and Asus Realbench. I've run them for about an hour each with no crashes and temperatures below 57 degrees at all times.
