i7 4790K safe temps? (76 degrees)

[Woxter]

Hi again guys, I was just wondering what are some safe temps for my particular case with my i7 4790K overclocked to 4.7 GHz. I'm using a Noctua NH-D14 with a Corsair 760T case, so what are the safest temps?

I'm a bit paranoid I just decoded a HEVC video file ( 6GB ) to a H.264 file (9 GB) and CPU was at 100% usage at about 13 minutes it reached max temp in one core of 76 degrees and the max average was 72-73. Should I be worried? I think it's reasonable for an overclocked haswell doing such a complex task but some friend told me "never go past 70 degrees"

So what do you think?

76c for 100% load is perfectly fine.
I wouldn't start to worry until you get to 80c, but even that's still acceptable for 100% load.

I'd say that 75 degrees is the max threshold unless you want to damage the chip, even if over-clocked i would like to go past 60~65, but that is just my preference. What is the vcore anyway? 4.7Ghz is neat.

Thanks guys, the V core idles at 0,770V (22-29 degrees) and the Max is 1.203V it's 100% stable

No worries at all if you use it at 100% for 90% of its life ID want it under 75 max temp, but anything under low 80s occasionally will not harm anything.

Thanks guys, the CPU is only at 100% load when it has to decode HEVC content to H.264, that's about the highest task and it only takes about 15 minutes maximum. The second highest task is gaming for hours which never pases 70 degrees (most of the time 65) so I don't give it a hell of a load since everything I do is done mainly with my GTX 970
