Power limits and overclocking

So im thinking that my unstable 5ghz overclock on my 10600k can be solved by playing a bit with power limits.

Those are the settings thay i have in my board:

Any ideas on good settings?

I dont want to crank it up all the day

I looked at the settings that are on the 5ghz 10600k thats available on silicon lottery and it says  the package power limit is 180w

Power limits won't affect stability, rather they tune the Turbo boost of a CPU, making it downclock if the power draw is too high. Ideally if you're having stability issues you'll want to disable turbo boost entirely and run a static clock, then slowly introduce power saving features.

I don't think that would help because that's for Intel turbo boost so those settings are telling the cpu how much power it can draw to turbo up but for a overclock your telling the cpu to run at 5.0ghz  no matter the power limit. so the only way to help stabilize your overclock is to cool the chip down or increase voltage

I do have a static 4.8ghz clock

If that's the case, why do you have turbo parameters? Looks to me like you've overclocked via turbo ratio limits, which can still downclock to base frequency, or lower if EIST is enabled.
