Are these temps safe for folding

I have lowered my CPU overclock to 4.1Ghz on all 6 cores when folding. 

I was wondering if my temps were safe for folding?

The CPU hovers anywhere between 68 and 75 celcius and usually stays at around 70-72 celcius. It spikes at 78 celcius sometimes but not always. 

I tested using AIDA64.

If you haven't already heard from someone else, you aren't really supposed to be overclocking at all while folding due to the increased risk of getting failed projects.

 

edit: Scratch that, CPU OC is generally ok. GPU overclocking can run you into failed projects though.

The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.

I haven't had any issues with my projects failing (that I have noticed) but my OC is burned into the bios so that might have something to do with it.
