    Also how far should one overclock to remain safe from overheating and breaking the laptop, since I want to keep this laptop for about 4 years +

    What is more important are your load temps, try to keep those under 80-90.

    Same program you posted a picture with. If you keep it running when you put some stress on the system you will see your high temps.

    He said you have plenty of room because your temps are quite low.
