Intel Core i7-4712K 2.30GHz | Overlocking question

Overlocked it to 2.50GHz for safety, temperature doesn't go more than 89. Do you think it's safe? Of course overclocking is not safe. But i want to be sure that would it harm my computer a lot..

Please bear in mind that Intel does not provide safe temperature information when a processor has been overclocked. Temperature will depend on system configuration and software.

 

If your processor is not rebooting by itself or not giving any heat signal, then this means is not overheating.
