Way too much. Adjust it down to 1.35 and go down from there. Change V core to manual and type in 1.350. You will also see a dramatic decrease in CPU temp.
I use Handbrake to stress CPU at 100%. If it will survive an hour of Handbrake your good. Games are not a good stress test for CPU.
Mine at 4.7 OC will top out at 69C with my large air cooler.
Here is a guide that may help you.

Thanks, holy crap yeah, Handbreak pushed this way past FCPX. I do have my fans set to a much more sound friendly curve via auto tune in the BIOS. However they spin up fast and I did not have a crash for 5 mins where I was @ 120+ W on the CPU package... I think the auto vcore is getting the CPU a bit hotter than needed since I am hitting 70C on this big water-cooling block.
Temps fall quick once the process is halted. 14-20C inside the case.
