70c is a sensible temp to aim for. There are guides out there stating 80-85c is fine, I'm sure it is for benching but it seems way to high if you're gaming for extended periods of time.
Going by the previous generation chips the best 6700k's will clock 4.7Ghz @ 1.3v or less. They'll be as rare as hens teeth but gives you an idea to how well your chip compares.
I have a delidded 3770k under custom water. I can push about 1.34v through it before temps become insane during stress testing. I haven't compared so I don't know for sure, but I would take a pretty good guess at Ivy being more forgiving in terms of voltage/temp with it being a 22nm chip.
If you start with a low multiplier and work your way up, you'll find the point where you need to bump the voltage quite a bit to maintain stability. At that point look at the temp, if you have the headroom go for it, if not back off and drop back down to the previous peg.
The silicon lottery sucks sometimes
