Some overclocking help

So I got my 6700k Overclocked to 4,5GHz 100% stable. I tried getting it up to 4.7 at 1.3v. It worked fine for about 3 hoursa under A64, but it failed imidiatly on prime95 (No bluescreen just failed) Should I keep the 4,7 or go back?

Is it for Gaming? The biggest plus i had was 5 fps in GTA5 with an OC to 4.6ghz. Not worth it in my Eyes. The 6700k is already a Monster with its stock speed.

Go back or use a good water cooler.

I got an h100I and runs at 55 degrees max under load at 4.5

I'd dial it back, but I always tend to err on the side of caution. If you're just gaming on the rig, test it at 4.7 @ 1.3v in your games. If it crashes, obviously take it back  a little; but if it runs fine, you should be okay. Prime95 has kind of fallen out of favor as a stress test IIRC, but even so, it punishes your CPU harder than pretty much any game can or will. What happens at 4.6?

Either dial the clock back or raise the voltage to try and get stability. It's your choice on how you want to tackle the problem; some would rather go for a more efficient machine and dial down the clocks, others would prefer going with raw power. Neither are really wrong, it's up to preference.

I think then you should keep it at 4.5 because everyone doesn't get the same result while overclocking , even when you use use the same hardware.
