1.30-1.35V is the max voltage recommended for long term use, so you should be fine. Anything past that and your CPU's transistors will degrade over time

EDIT: more quickly, they degrade regardless but higher voltages accelerate the process

you could go up to 1.4v easily as long as you keep it cool and it would last for years.
i have a phenom II @ 1.5V at 4.0ghz since i bought it years and years ago.

as for the op, your voltage and temps are fine

Well that's an AMD chip on a totally different architecture, newer chips are on much smaller processes and don't take to high voltage as well due to the transistor gates being so much smaller. I would never run a 14nm chip at 1.5V for any extended period of time, that's asking for trouble.

I wouldn't either but many people run them at 1.4v-1.45v as long as they have the cooling for it.
And Intel also says max voltage for Skylake is 1.52v, I don't think they would say that if the chip couldn't handle it for at least 3 years( warranty is 3 years).
But again I agree I wouldn't try running it at 1.5v , but all these ppl saying 1.3v-135v max is nonsense IMO
