New to OC'ing. How do I know when I'm pushing it too far? (zerobytes.monster)

I have a Ryzen 5 5500 that I am over clocking. Right now I'm at a stable 4.42Ghz at 1.3v, getting a max CPU temp of 83c in Cinebench. My friend is telling me I'm safe to keep pushing my OC until I hit 90c temps during Cinebench and at that point I should stop and maybe try to dial back the voltage if it will let me. Thoughts?
