Hello Guys i,m new here, and skylake is new for me, few weeks ago i bought a i5 6600k but used it with the stock cooler, yesterday i bought a hyper 212 evo, and started overclocking.
currentley running at 4.6ghz with a voltage set in bios of 1.30v, started to check if it was stable and i run linx64 with mem all, 20 runs (35minutes) And no problem, temps stayed under 80 degrees celsius.
So is that oke??

Yes that's fine, my general rule is keep the CPU under 80 degrees. Though you may want to stress test longer, 35 minutes isn't really long enough.

Yeah, get a nice long ffmpeg session to stress things. It sounds screwy but i've heard multiple tales of "stable" overclocks that pass all of the other stress testing failing under ffmpeg.

I personally have my 6600k running at 4.3Ghz at stock voltages.
 
I'd recommend testing with Real Bench, that's what everyone says for Skylake. I test for 4 hours and if it it passes that then it's golden.
 
RealBench should be use for Skylake and Hasswell/Hasswell-E.
I ran RealBench on my system for 8 hrs. After I ran it again (without rebooting) for another 8 hrs, then another 8 hrs (without rebooting) just to be sure my OC was stable. Again without rebooting, played BF4 for a while and ran Handbrake converting some video at the same time to be VERY sure my OC was stable =)

And what is stock voltage then?
 
I knocked 4-5 degrees off mine by adding a second fan. although they are sp120s. either way it will still help and wont hurt to try...

no not really brings nothing for me, more noice, and temps are fine, 4680ghz 120X39 1.344v using prime95 27-9 gives me temps of 68 degrees did put another fan on the 212 s jetflow, so good enough
