Question Safe to oc?

So i have a i5 6600k with a hyper 212 evo single fan.
I have been using it at 4.5 ghz for about 1 month and i havent seen over 75c in cinebench or hardcore gaming.

Should I be worried with thsi oc ?
Usually in casual games it is about 60-65 C.

No that is safe. As long as temps are under 80c it is 100% safe.

Excessive voltage and heat kills electronics not overclocking in and of itself. As long as you are not pumping a ridiculous amount of voltage into the CPU and temps are under control it should be fine. 75c in a synthetic test is just fine for that CPU.

It is running at 1.35v

Sounds like a good overclock to me.
