Consider increasing voltage even if overclocking seems stable.

I increased my i5 6600k to 4.4ghz at 1.30v and it worked well after several tests. I'm wondering if adding a small extra voltage boost is really needed, especially since I see some people recommend it. My experience shows the CPU reaches 87c during stress tests, but I don't want to raise the voltage too much. The temperatures are stable around 60 in realbench and 55 in aida64. I also encountered an issue when trying to lower the voltage to 1.29v.

I find any temperature over 80 to be not good.
If it's stable there is literally no reason to add any more voltage.
If it crashes in a game, add your 0.02v and repeat.
