Am I Overclocking wrong?

Well been messing with overclocking for about two weeks now on and off to reset defaults and I think I finally fixed it here are photos from a 20 minute test I did twice. As well as the benchmark test which takes as long as it needs to my score was 1438. Is that good?

Anyone know memory OC too? I'm looking in to that now as well how to set it up correctly as well.
If my CPU is good to go at 5.0GHz

As well I didn't touch anything but cpu multiplier and vcore and offset.

How about this AVX offset I left it default which on my board (Z170 classified k) is 3.

Vdroop fine on default?

I'm new to overclocking & my first build. Just want to make sure I'm doing this Overclocking the right way.

One question opening certain programs jumps my temp to 4(x)c sometimes 5(x)c from idle 32c. Is that normal? I use this PC for recording gameplay and editing videos and rendering which is the most reason I want 5.0Ghz so It'll be quicker than ever before. My old PC used to take 14 hours (that's right and true) to render an hour video.

Photos of stress test today at 5.0GHz Vcore on auto with a offset of +75 temps never hitting over 70c.

 

Yesterday at 4.8GHz hitting around 78c-83c with a lower Vcore (I thought this was quite weird)

 

Tried again 5.0 at 1.335V though when testing 1.363 & 1.381 it said was the fluctuates of vcore for the temps for prime95 v26.6 test was 79c-80c. I say cause it passed the 640k test then was trying to do its 8k test temps went above 90c.
