The temperatures are slightly above what is usually advised for continuous overclocking. If measured with a stress test tool like Prime95, they might be inflated, so real-world results could differ. Such high readings might shorten the CPU's lifespan, though the exact impact is uncertain. I’d lower the overclock to keep the average temperature at 70°C or below, just to maintain some thermal margin for higher ambient conditions or dust buildup.

Avoid exceeding 80 degs C on the CPU at all times. Slightly reduce the voltage until issues arise, then fine-tune again. It looks like the vcore might be too high right now.

You shouldn't exceed 80 degrees Celsius on the CPU at all. You can slightly reduce the voltage until you hit lockups, then tweak it a bit back. It looks like the vcore is a bit too high right now. I've chosen to downclock to 4.7 since my max temperature in RealBench is 84C.
