From the way you formed your question, you need a lot more background knowledge before you start tinkering. If you use those settings with a stock cooler you'll highly likely burn your CPU. There is no single setting that works for all configurations. Not only are all chips different, the power supply, motherboard, RAM all influence the overclock.

Edit: Ok you have water cooling. That's good. But you only want to increase your voltage as you notice stability dropping with the higher clocks... Short version:

Increase CPU multiplier by 1 step, test for 15 minutes with Prime 95
Repeat until Prime95 gives errors.
When there's an error, increase voltage 1 step, test again, repeat until no more errors occur
Start increasing multiplier again.

Follow this until you can go no further. Your limits are your temperature (~62 degrees) and your voltage (1.55v).

it could work depends on how good your cooler is and if it's able to keep thermal in check, if not then no, i cnnot say will it work or not, since i have no idea of what does you loop have, or if its aio, and i don't have your chip which can run hot or cool, depending on your luck in silicon lottery and cooling system

Overclocking is a risk. If it goes successfull then its ok but if anything goes wrong then your computer will just brick. Overclocking means increase in speed but generates more heat and consumes more power. So if you are a laptop user dont overclock. If you are using PC then overclock at your own risk.

i doubt that you would reach 5.0 ghz on that cooler before hitting thermal limits, which in your case is 74c as max temp before the cpu starts throttling, but won't know until you try, if you are lucky and got a good chip you could do it if not then not
