Its only unsafe if you hammer prime all day everyday, for gaming I would even argue higher would be fine.
Been running it for a year now with 0 deg.
For example if I run cinebench R20 multicore at stock it feeds my CPU 1.35-1.37v with boost of around 4.050-4.1 and temps are 8c higher.
Now when I run 4.2 all core during the same test with fixed Vcore @1.325 not only do I score a lot higher but temps are much lower which would indicate the voltage being fed is less than stock. Not sure how lower temps and lower voltage is unsafe?
Now where I think it does become unsafe is running stuff like prime when stock would probably pin the voltage at 1.30 or below so my advice would be to run prime at stock and see what voltage the chip gets fed and then use this or slightly below.
The way these chips work is that the less heavy the workload the higher the voltage thats fed at stock so if all you do is gaming then I would argue could use a higher static voltage over something like prime for example.
