I5-7600k overclocking question

Ok so sometime this week I am going to be tearing down my brothers computer and redoing some of it. He has a 7600k, and asus TUF Z270 MK2 and a 1070. It going to have a hyper 212black cooler. He really knows nothing, like I went to his place last week and turned on his XMP which was never on, hes had it for a couple years now. I wanna kinda tune this thing up a little bit but my PC is a full custom loop and I run Ryzen so thats what im used to OC'ing. My question is what is a safe multiplier/voltage to shoot for on this thing thats gonna be rock solid stable. I want him to get the most out of this machine but I dont want him to have any issues so Im fine being a bit more on the cautious side as opposed to pushing it to the ragged edge.

The key thing is to watch the temperature, see what happens if the CPU runs 1.35V stock clocks in stress test. With Asus you should read the Vcore reading from HWinfo64
