Hello,
I overclocked my i5-6600k and I got 4.7GHz at 1.29v and LLC5. I ran prime95 overnight, it was stable. Didn't try lower voltage but I tried 4.4GHz at 1.17v set in bios, ran prime95 for 1hour and AIDA64 overnight (6hours), it was stable and voltage was changing between 1.168 and 1.184. Am I doing something wrong or am I just lucky?

those test are only needed to run for an hour, its a bit synthetic as the load will not be replicated by normal use. So if its stable after an hour and still running. you should expect it to be stable.

What are you using the cpu for and what temps are you getting. 57 c max?

I'm trying tonight how low I can go on voltage with 4.7ghz, and how long should I stress test my cpu and which software? It's my first time overclocking ever :D

For gaming, yes. Mostly Battlefield 4 & 1, Black Ops 3 and Grim Dawn I play too.
I have ROG Strix RX 480 and 8gb 3200mhz trident z ram. Need to add more ram later
