I was curious about whether it makes sense to overclock the I5 6600k that came with a standard cooler, and if it's feasible.

You might attempt it, but it won't go very far because the stock cooler is made just to maintain the CPU within warranty limits at standard settings and can't manage much beyond that.

As long as temperatures stay under 70C, check how much you can extend with the stock vcore.

The K series doesn't include a stock cooler. It appears he might have ordered one separately. If that's not the case, then he wouldn't have an HSF to install initially.
