Your settings of 1.2 volts and 4.2 GHz are within typical ranges for many devices, but ensure they match your hardware specifications to avoid damage.
The CPU might seem quite old, but it won’t cause any real issues. Don’t stress about it.
Previously shared update..^ I wouldn't stress too much. It's not identical but similar. I still have a spare 4790k that I gifted to my mum four years ago. It's been running at 1.3v and 4.6Ghz (Photoshop singlethread boosts) for the whole duration. Allcore Allday, no need to declock during idle either. 1.3v by the time it stops working, it's probably already fixed. The rare exceptions are cases like mine, which have a different architecture. But you're not applying extreme voltages, that's clear...
