I've overclocked my CPU to 4.8Ghz at around 1.28V and my temperatures are hovering at low to mid 80's 

Is this ok or should I bring the overclock and voltage down a notch?

Maybe do a 48+ hour stability test? Do you need the little extra overclock, because if not, you are creating heat(which is bad unless you are using your PC as a heater) and noise for nothing.

the 7700k will run hotter than a 6700k fyi 

will high 70s low 80's affect the lifespan of the chip?
