Overclocking brand new i5 6600k will affect his life-time?

i5 6600k
z170m-plus
cryorig h7

Its running at 4.2Ghz in all cores at 1.250v.

After using AIDA64 stress test and playing some GTAV i've got a max temperature of 53ºC and a min. of 20ºC.
Can i consider this a stable overclock with no risk of damaging my cpu? Does this affect my cpu life time? (Beginner)

Yah lol, temp is good. Voltage i believe is in the safe range. To be honsest i think you will be good for a long time. I have had my 2600k from 4.8ghz to 5 ghz for 5 years now and its still going strong

Hello... You should be fine... Typically I have to sell or throw away My OLD CPU's... they are pretty tuff for a life time, when used with in Temperature/Voltage specs.

My son still has his 8350 at 4.8 for over 4 years now , runs like a champ. Every chip is different.

You're fine. No problem with any of that at all. BUT let me be blunt, lol. If you're truly worried about stuff like that, you probably shouldn't be overclocking, in the first place.

I overclocked mine to 4,5 straight out of the box @ 1.3v. Totally wasn't expecting it, but it survived 12 hours of stresstesting.
Has been running fine ever since, without any blue screens (knocks on wood).
And 53 degrees is fine. You should start worrying if you hit temps above 80 degrees consistently (not peaks).

And the lifespan of modern chips is quite long; you'll probably have a completely new setup before it dies.

atm i have mine at 4.3Ghz with 1.225v, tested and stable so far
