As you know, overclocking an Intel processor at frequencies beyond official specifications is not supported. There are risks associated with this including data errors, unpredictable system failures, and voided warranty.

That said, it seems you did exceed the max Tcase temperature:

Probably better to ask before doing such an extended test in the future.

That is correct, overclocking voids the processor's warranty.
