I'm currently overclocking my i7 since I got a new NZXT Kraken X63 and some liquid metal, didnt de-lid my cpu though just used it as plain thermal grease. I've gotten up to 4.8GHz and 1.190v and have stress tested it for about 3hrs now. Im going to leave the test going for a tad bit longer just to further test it but I feel at least this OC is stable but I wanted to ask other people who know more than me since ive seen some people say these temps are too high and some say they're just fine.

Also of note The voltage seems to be as low as it can go, I had it on 1.185v and it stress tested for 9hrs completely fine but when I stopped it and went to use my computer with firefox it sadly blue screened...

Should/Could I go to 4.9GHz? I doubt I can reach 5GHz.

Unless you will be continually doing something that stresses your system more than AIDA64, you should be fine. While I wouldn't want to continually run a CPU at those peak temps, normal operation (and gaming) probably won't even peak above 75º.
