Overclocking limits for an i5-760

I just want to know if this is safe. I overclocked my i5-760 from 2.8 ghz to 3.5. After about 40 minutes of 100  percent CPU load my CPU temp stays between 77-79°C. Is this safe? Could I push it harder without a noticeable difference in lifespan?

Just as long as it doesn't keep at 90 or 85, you'll be fine
