Hello, this is my first post here so excuse me if I do something wrong 
I'll start with my specs:
Case: Fractal Design R5
Mobo: Asus Z170-A
CPU: Intel i7 6700k
CPU-cooler: Noctua NH-D15
RAM: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance 2133 MHz
GPU: Asus GTX 960 Strix 2 GB OC
PSU: Corsair CX500M
(I do not have any prior overclocking experience)
Last week I tried overclocking though Asus AI Suite 3, but I stopped it before it finished because I wasn't comfortable with the temps.
Yesterday I tried it again and I let it finish this time. The program overclocked to 4,8 GHz, but it's the voltage I'm worried about. I'll attach a picture of the finished overclock, with a photo from my BIOS.

According to AI Suite the Max Voltage is 1,400 V, which I read is an acceptable voltage. But according to my BIOS the Core Voltage is 1,488?! That seems awfully high.
So I just wanted to check if this overclock is acceptable or if it will hurt my system if I continue to use it.
Am I better off just resetting to defaults? Or can I just lower the voltage in BIOS and it'll be okay?
