Is this a safe i5 4690K overclock?

Yesterday I overclocked my i5 4690K to 4.1GHz (from the stock 3.5GHz).

When I run AIDA64 the temps sit at around 70°C. Also in the Prime95 blend test I get similar results.

But when I run small FFTs in Prime95 one or two of the cores reach 85°C, I'm reluctant to test this for a long time as I don't want to damage my CPU.

Is this a safe overclock?

 

Here's a screenshot after 20 mins of AIDA64 (fpu test)

Prime95 is not good for temperature.. It overrides the voltage and adds more (==> More heat)

Ah okay, that's good to know. Thanks.

So really I could go higher if I wanted to? (probably won't).
