dont forget the reduction in lifespan of the overclocked device,

its safe provided you dont do anything stupid like 500mhz overclocks at a time
from what ive seen, i also test my new confuguration with prime 95 to check

its a trial and error though and ive heard of cpus frying as a result of poor cooling and stupidity BUT generally safe

No amount of cooling and preventative measures can protect against stupidity and lack of common sense.

very very true, but you need to know the extent to which your cooler can manage things so things dont get a little hot

For most people that just means "put a HSF on it"
