Overclocking an i7-6700K
You can try setting your i7-6700K to 4.5 to 4.7GHz with the Corsair H100i V2 and the 650W Supernova 80+ Gold cooler.
It depends on your chip, but start with 1.3V at 4.6Ghz and perform a stress test. If it works, reduce the voltage as much as possible while maintaining stability during the test. For higher speed, raise the voltage by 0.5V and 100Mhz, then repeat the stress test.

For comparison, I operate mine at 4.6 with 1.25v. It can reach higher speeds, but voltage increases too. I believe I reached around 5.0 ghz, yet at about 1.45v with temperatures in the 80s—something I didn't want to maintain continuously. Still, it's enjoyable to experiment.
