Should I Overclock Higher?

I recently got Intel i5 6600k and oc'd it. I was hitting 4.8 ghz with 1.245 v and a H100i V2. I was just wondering if it would be safe to overclock it even more?

ooooooh that's nice. 

 

Definitely push further, 5GHz would be very cool.

Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example.

Are you sure that overclock is stable?

I've been using the Prime95 stress test for around 2 hours now and the highest temperature out of all four of the cores was 50 C

If so, then you've hit the lottery.  Can you post a screenshot for everyone to admire?
