Hi, i need to overclock my i5-6600K but have some questions.
1- what is the safe GHz for the CPU?
2- and what is the safe temperature for the CPU?
3- what is best for CPU high or low voltage?
Right now my CPU is running at 4.4Ghz, 1.220 Volt.

first Min second Max:
CPU 1 (35 'C, 57 'C)
CPU 2 (41 'C, 57 'C)
CPU 3 (32 'C, 50 'C)
CPU 4 (33 'C, 49 'C)

I would reset your BIOS settings back to normal. Check out YouTube for "overclock 6600k" for clearer guidance. Make adjustments within the next four days before the PC world becomes a bit risky.
But the issue is whether they have different coolers or not? It can still matter, though. If you use a liquid cooler, you'll achieve better temperatures. Keep watching those videos for a clearer picture.

It's a process of trying different settings. Not every overclock works the same. I'm using mine at 4.4GHz and 1.25v. I should perform a stress test to confirm stability. So far, it seems fine.

It's trial and error. Not all overclocks are identical. I have mine running at 4.4GHz and 1.25v. Just perform a stress test to confirm stability. Currently, it seems fine.
Right now I'm lowering the voltage to 1.2v when testing (Warning: Hardware failure detected! test stopped)
Can you please answer questions 2 and 3?

Temps must stay at 65 C or below, and the safe voltage for the 6600K is 1.25v or less. It's still trial and error. If you're unsure, I'd suggest checking tutorials or just avoiding it unless you have no other choice. A mistake could damage your CPU and possibly the motherboard.

Temps should be 65 C or under, and a safe voltage for the 6600K is 1.25v or under. Again, it's trial and error. If you don't know what you are doing, I would reocmmend reading tutorials or jut not doing it at all, unless you can afford no ones. If you mess up, you can fry your CPU, and possibly motherboard
there is best video can learn me abut OC i build the pc befor 4 days im new in PC world
how i can send for you the photo for my pc read
sorry for bad english

I would reset your BIOS settings to their standard state. Check YouTube for "overclock 6600k" to gain more insight. Make adjustments within the next four days before the PC scene becomes a bit risky.
