Yeah, it's safe. BH-5/CH-5 can handle up to around 3.5-3.6v without any real problems, so 3.0v is just fine. I ran my CH-5 at 3.2v for a couple of months w/o problems.

CH-5 should get at least 3.2Vdimm to turn off the internal voltage limiters in the chips - that's when they start acting more like BH-5s.
