Well, to go higher you'd need lower temperatures, but 4.7GHz is quite impressive on a 6700K, and keeping it at 60c is even better. You could try going up to 1.4V, although in the long run it will affect the lifespan more than it is now. But the difference between 4.7GHz and 4.8GHz is really miniscule.

Well it entirely depends on your CPU, 1.5V is probably the highest you would even dare to go to, and is highly unrecommended. 1.4V is also highly unrecommended, but you can do so at your own risk.
If I was you, I'd keep it as it is, as anything higher isn't needed. But you could probably go 1.4V at 4.8-4.9GHz, but any damage to your CPU is on you.

1.4v won't affect the lifespan in any significant way, it is the point where lifespan will start to reduce VERY minimally, if you go 1.45v for example it might last say 14 1/2 years instead of 15, but as long as you cool it effectively you'll be fine, nothing to worry about.
I say set it to 4.7GHz 1.4v and let it go, that's a very stable setting I use as a straight overclock on clients builds with 6700ks all the time, and it is always stable.
@Feardom, 1.5v or high 1.4s is where lifespan really starts to become a consideration, but you should easily be able to get a 4.8GHz OC on about 1.42 anyway, mine's currently at 1.41.
It is not catastrophic, your PC won't go up in flames and there will be no damage even if you do apply a bit too much voltage, you can just turn it down when you're finalizing.
It is a bit daunting at first, but its relatively simple once you get down to it.
The only damage that could really come about is having an insufficient cooler like the stock cooler and trying to apply a huge overclock resulting in overheating, or running Prime95 for 48 hours straight on a cheap air cooler.
OCing is a relatively safe and easy procedure provided you know what you're doing.

No worries at all, as long as you're open to learn everyone's happy. 
I also updated that post with a bit more if you're interested, also feel free to PM me if you have any questions or aren't sure about something.

Always happy to learn, unless its something like Mathematics or something, ew. I don't mind if its to do with computers haha.
I will do but I just tend to browse around and find out as much as possible.
Thanks

Okay, so you know how those kind of gauntlet toasters have a temperature setting?
A good overclock at say 4.8GHz would be setting the temperature to 5 from 4.
What you're talking about is twisting the kob to 11 and denouncing bread as a food product.
If you read what I wrote above you'll see where that falls on the scale of what is considered a normal voltage.

Sounds good.
DO NOT try 4.9GHz, that's too high for your cooler.
There will also be very little improvement at all.
You're new to OCing, and what you have is already a very high OC.
1.49v is way too damn high.
Stop where you are now.

Oml, please just stop and listen to me, because you're not listening to a word i'm saying.
Set LLC to high.
DO NOT swap to another chip, most can't even hit 4.8GHz and you should be happy with what you have, if you're having stability issues go back to 4.7GHz 1.4v and leave it, that's it.
You're evidently new to overclocking, so I don't recommend doing all this fiddling without a solid handle on what you're doing.

Ocing 'better' isn't something you can learn overnight, just browse the overclockers club forums and read guides and tutorials, you won't get better than 4.8GHz at a reasonable voltage or setting most likely, and even if you did it probably wouldn't be stable. 4.8GHz = MAX OC for a 6700k.
