I overclocked my i5 8600k to 5 gh and I am getting really high temps at idle (around 50 degrees Celsius). When I run Prime 95 to test stability it crashes at anything less than 1.39 V.
And the temps I get after just 4 min of Prime 95 seem really hot to me

I am using kraken x62 for cooling.
This is also my first overclock so there is a decent chance I am doing something wrong. Is there anything I should do that might help with being able to run at 5gh at a lower temp?

That temp is normal unless you delid..and 1.16v is pretty low . What's your Motherboard? Some motherboards tends to go down lower the order from high to low . Make sure you set the highest LLC settings. My 8700k runs 5ghz at 1.31v within 75 to 85c .

Yeah its weird because I Set the Volts to be 1.39 but it only hovers around 1.16 even with LLC set to max
