Could you confirm if you'd like me to check the safety of this OC for regular use?

Sorry I meant 71C under full load not while gaming during gaming it is around 42 C. When you mention 71c under full load, which application are you referring to? Is it stress testing with something like Prime 95 versus 26.6? A gaming temperature of 42c is not bad for a heat pipe air cooler like the DH-15. You can always lower the temperature further if you manually overclock, but if you prefer not to go that route which requires some dedicated learning, then it should be fine.
Vcore below 1.40v and temperature cooler than 80°C indicate it's safe for regular use. You no longer need to worry about upgrading the CPU. Even powerful models like Titan XP or the upcoming RTX 2080 Ti can't push this CPU beyond its limits. This chip was built for improved multitasking, such as gaming and streaming. Try learning BIOS OC—it's not too difficult and makes troubleshooting easier when you go overclocking further. Free boost is a good idea. Use the PC for several days. If it doesn't crash and temperatures stay under 80°C with an average below 70°C, it's safe to continue.

Temperatura core below 1.40v and cooler than 80c indicates it's safe for regular use. No need to upgrade the CPU anymore. Even high-end models like Titan XP or RTX 2080 Ti can't push that CPU beyond its limits. This chip was built for smoother multitasking, such as gaming and streaming. Try BIOS OC—it's not complicated and makes troubleshooting easier when you go overclocking. Free boost is a good idea. Spend a few days on the machine. If it runs without crashes and stays under 80c on average (around 70c), it's safe. Thanks for the help. Also, should I set it to idle at lower speeds? How would I do that?
Ensure the CPU operates at its peak speed, though not its highest power consumption. Adjust the settings via the control panel: select the active plan, navigate to Advanced, modify Processor Power, and set the minimum processor state. Alternatively, opt for balanced mode.

42 C While gaming is great temp, you still have some room to get higher clocks but as I said, you might not get any benefit from higher clock speed with that GPU.
