I recently purchased an i5 6600k and a COOLERMASTER Hyper TX3i EVO with GIGABYTE GA-Z170-D3H, Intel Z170, and 16GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM. I overclocked my CPU to 4.4 with 1.200V, performed a 15-minute stress test in AIDA64, and the temperature stayed below 55°C. I’m wondering if this overclocking at that voltage is appropriate?

yes, a good overclock at low voltage 1.200v is rare unless your CPU is lucky; you're aiming for 1.230v at 4.4

Should I increase the push or maintain a steady clock at 4,4?

go for it, aim for 4.6 at 1.260v and check if it holds steady
😛
as long as the temps are good, which looks to be the case
