Voltage on 6700k

So I'm a noob at overclocking still and just set up my new rig. I'm currently doing a stress test in AIDA64 and I have my i7 6700k at 4.6GHz and I set the voltage to 1.248v. It's been running pretty stable in AIDA64 with voltage going up to 1.28v in CPUID and temps going up to 62C. From reading online this seems to be fairly good temps/voltage. But I'm kind of doubting it since I'm using an air cooler. Is it safe to use such a low voltage for 4.6GHz? 

 

I also \set my 16GB DDR4 to the XMP profile and it put it at 3000MHz annd 1.35v.

 

My cooler is a Noctua NH-D15

 

Thanks.
