Officially the i7 4770k has a max core temperature of 105°C, it will probably shut down after that. Throttling may start at  95°C - 100°C, so you never want to run it that hot (especially for longer periods of time). Throttling below 90°C shouldn't really happen, but I still wouldn't call it a "safe" temperature if it has to operate constantly under these conditions.
