Without over clocking and assuming about 20 degrees room temp there would be no real problem with doing it for days. However overclocking produces additional heat proportional to the amount overclocked.

In addition here is a guide to overclocking your CPU: http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard

finally is there any real reason for you to overclock. Your GPU will be handling the video encoding anyway what's the requirement for OC. Normally only people with experience and a vested interest do it or people who feel they need it.

Noctua NH-D14's can take a lot. However when overclocking you really need to just take it bit by bit stress testing at each point until you find the optimal point. I would take it up in small steps until it starts to cause significant rises in heat then test that for a fair period of time before trying for higher.

Also keep in mind there are many guides of how to begin finding the right overclock for your system
