Hello,
I’m seeking guidance on whether and how to proceed with overclocking my current setup.
My system includes an Intel i7-6700K, a MSI Gaming M5 board, 16 GB of RAM, an ASUS Strix GTX 1070, and a CoolerMaster Hyper 212X cooler.
I recall reading that it’s generally safe to push the 6700K up to 4.4GHz, but I’m not entirely confident about the limits for the 1070.
Could you offer some advice on this?

Yes, running at 4.2GHz on stock voltage works perfectly, though 4.4 might be a bit tricky. A stable setting I use consistently is 1.4v and 4.7GHz. Also, set llc (load line calibration) to high to prevent vdroop.

I think 1.4 is acceptable too, though some might disagree. Many recommend sticking nearer to 1.35 with a 14nm chip. I've configured mine at 1.35 with a positive offset of 30, and the LLC is set to 6 at 4.6ghz. My vcore reads around 1.344, but it can rise to 1.360-1.376 under load. It's been reliable for me. If you aim for around 4.4, you should be able to reach about 1.3-1.325

I also lack much experience with the Evo. I usually use liquid cooling. Keep an eye on your temperatures when increasing the voltage, as this will significantly impact achieving your desired settings.
