What is the recommended overclocking level for your i5 6600k?
There are suitable options for safe overclocking to around 3.5 GHz, and the recommended voltage settings are provided. Please let me know if you need further details.
my i5 6600k runs at 4.7ghz with 1.345v, idles 28c under full load and maintains 45c steady after 4 hours. i have water cooling with a slim 360mm rad and a 120mm rad. your chip might not reach the same performance as mine or someone else's (silicon lottery). if you plan to overclock, don't exceed 1.3v. you should likely achieve 4.2 or 4.4ghz without raising voltage. but it depends on how well you cool the cpu after overclocking—otherwise it could get hotter and risk damage.

I believe it's wise to spend a bit of time learning about overclocking. These fundamental topics are well explained in online guides. Make sure to do your research and use Google. I think both of you lack sufficient knowledge on this subject.
