I increased my i5 6600k to 4.4 ghz at 1.26vcore, but I noticed it can reach up to 1.62. The overclock seems stable since I tested it nonstop yesterday and today, running numerous checks. Is this typical? Thanks.

What concerns you is the CPU temperature. It's important to monitor it regularly, not just the Vcore voltage, and ensure the CPU stays within safe limits. High temperatures combined with high Vcore voltages can cause serious problems for the processor. The Vcore tends to vary slightly depending on the workload, but the changes you're seeing are significant. You need to address this right away to avoid permanent damage. In your BIOS, you'll find the load line calibration options; each setting affects the Vcore differently. Try running your system with all settings and pick the one that maintains the Vcore closer to 1.26v. Make sure the Vcore never exceeds 1.35v in extreme cases.

i hope the op corrected a typo and intended 1.262 instead of 1.62.

Regarding the CPU temperature, it's important to monitor it regularly. Checking the CPU temp alongside the vcore voltage helps ensure the CPU doesn't overheat. High temperatures combined with high vcore voltages can cause serious issues. The vcore changes slightly depending on the CPU load, but your reported fluctuations are significant. If not addressed quickly, you might risk permanent damage. In your BIOS, you'll find settings for load line calibration; testing all options will help stabilize the vcore closer to 1.26v. Make sure it stays below 1.35v in extreme cases.

4.4ghz is reasonable, you just need minor tweaks to the dynamic vcore for that. For more extreme overclocks, you might have to use llc if you're encountering issues with bsods or need to switch to a fixed vcore... but this really depends on your motherboard and its particular overclocking features and settings, as there could be additional ways to experiment.

hoping the op corrected the number to 1.262 instead of 1.62.
temps stay below 51c during load, 59c under heavy testing such as intel burn test.

4.4ghz is reasonable, you probably just need some tweaks to the dynamic vcore. For more extreme overclocks, you might want to use LLC if you're seeing BSODs related to voltage droop, and/or switch to a fixed vcore. This really depends on your motherboard and its specific overclocking features, as there could be other ways to experiment. I haven't seen any BSODs, my motherboard is the Z170 gaming 3. How do I adjust the dynamic vcore? I've only changed my vcore settings so far, unless you're unsure.

59c remains quite low, you can continue until reaching the 70s. What motherboard do you own?

59c remains quite affordable, you can push it further until you hit the 70s. What kind of motherboard do you have?
