Is there no OC on any of the components?

If you have a stock cpu cooler i wouldn't recommend it. Have you tested your temps at stock during benches?

Yes, but that energy gets displaced slowly over time. You will be fine running 1hr of OCing and benching.
You you first OC and start benching your temps will become a little hotter, BUT they will hit a ceiling fast. The dangerous temps come from displacement of energy over an extended period of time. Yes your stock cooling will be loud, nasty and hot, but you won't reach dangerous thermal levels by just finding your max OC and running a bench.
Download HW Monitor to monitor temps. Since it saves the MAX Temp, Usage and Voltage Draw of every component in the system, there is no need to constantly check.
