Yes my 6700k draws 1.44v at default settings. Even though it draws 1.44v at default settings I can overclock it to 4.75GHz with 1.488v game stable..
Max safe voltage is 1.52v with a max temp of 64c as stated by Intel but you can take stress testing temps to 90c that pretty much tells you your limit. Realbench should give you about 10c lower temps.
Gaming temps and everyday use 64c but I would think up to 70c would be ok.
You could find the lowest stable voltage for 4.2GHz then enable xmp or set your ram manually, if you get errors with your ram you will need to raise the CPU VCCIO voltage and the CPU System Agent voltage.
Extreme Tweaker tab
CPU VCCIO voltage 1.20v - 1.25v
CPU Systam Agent voltage 1.20v - 1.25v
You'll only need to raise these if you get errors with your ram.

I'm sorry but your post although correct is confusing as hell, try this :
1. Max safe temp 90c (most Skylake are perfectly fine up to around 100c but a select few don't like anything over 80c) - max safe voltage 1.45v (without LN2/Dice/heavy custom loop) - max voltage 1.52v
2. My motherboard always down-volted RAM, up to 1701 i needed manual 1.36v to run XMP, might be your issue (also my CPU at stock only uses 1.34v/1.35v)
3. VCCIO+SA is USUALLY only needed at extreme ram overclocks like 3600+
4. I understand the need to advertise RealBench but you can also use Prime95 26.6/Aida64 as they will do the same job with less heat output while stressing.

I must have been posting my last post and editing it before I saw yours. Your post is more confusing to me than his was to you I think. You explained things very briefly and used technical terms that I don't know yet. I'm very noob when it comes to all the bios settings and while I am very thankful for your reply, I wasn't really able to follow your post. Sorry, hope I didn't just irritate you, I wasn't trying to.
~edit~ Ok so I re-read your post a couple times and after you said "try this" it seems like you just explained what numbers are safe, but didn't actually give me any specific steps to try. Am I missing something?
Oh and you mention uping ram voltage, but my kit is rated to run at it's XMP speed with just 1.2v and it passed 36 hours of memtest with no errors running off just 1.2v so is it really a good idea to up the ram voltage for my particular set then?
