Hello everyone.
I recently assembled a new PC in January, marking my first build, and I've only just begun experimenting with overclocking.
I'm using an i5-7600k processor paired with a CM 212 Evo cooler.
The stable overclocks I've achieved so far (after about 11 hours) are around 4.5ghz at 1.2v. The BIOS reports a vcore of 1.2v.

I've attached some temperature readings from the AIDA64 stability test.
My concern is whether these temperatures are sufficient for long-term reliability (over 5 years), or if I should lower the voltage to improve stability at a lower speed.
Thank you for your advice!

I believe everything is okay. You probably don't need temperatures above that during gaming, but you should still periodically verify them to ensure they stay stable.

As long as you are under 80c you are fine, even low 80's are not hazardous.
