Need to re-learn clocking on this board

Finally got my new system up and running today

Maximus IX Hero
7700k
Gskill 3600 B-die 16g
1070FE *powermod
Samsung 850evo 2x240g raid0
Custom hard lined loop

This is a completely different beast than my x99 5820k system, that thing hated to overclock. This rig on the otherhand......... I can throw random profiles at it and it can do pretty much anything. A couple clicks and I was at 5ghz. I haven't done any sort of tweaking or stressing and little benching.

What get's me is that the voltages thrown at this in the pre-built profiles are through the roof. So I'm worried about not knowing what the limit's are and not knowing when I'm getting close to them. F@H on cpu and gpu for a couple hours leaves temps more than adequate, 33c on gpu and 55c on cpu, no heat soak.

I haven't been able to do anything with the ram, and that's probably for the best, I got the samsung B-die out of a pure desire for tweaking it, not throwing random numbers at it.

I just need a run down of voltages and temps and what to keep an eye on. (saw a random forum thread about pushing 1.85v to these ram modules but I am most certain that was a troll thread, barely read it). On my x99 Sabertooth I would stick to yellow on the voltages, what should I be going by?

Oh, there is a guide to kabylake at the top lol. I have it running at 4.9g but temps are 65c through AIsuite on AIDA stress. AIDA temps are erratic and act funny so I'm not going to rely on them. Mem is only at 2133 but I'll work on that later. I've been stable for a couple days so I'll test 5ghz (thinking of a delid)
