I know 1.32 volts is a good number and i have it set to auto in my bios because of the fact it fluctuates too much, it stays between 1.32 and 1.5, is this all that safe? 

It stays at 60C temp wise during a gta v gameplay and a couple other games

I've heard that over 1.4v is considered unsafe for skylake

Intel recommends no higher than 1.4V and MSI recommends no higher than 1.48V so I would say anything 1.5V and below is safe for long term use. The CPU is going to be obsolete before its lifespan is a issue if you don't go insane with the voltage.

Why are you letting it on auto, though... never do that with an unlocked CPU.
