A little more CPU Vcore is almost certainly needed at that frequency and will likely fix it..Increase the CPU voltage/offset or the CPU Loadline Calibration Control.
I see that others running an i7-6700K at/around 4.7GHz need in the neighborhood of 1.4v under load, but how much Vcore needed will depend on the quality of your particular CPU..You should review some overclocking guides specific to your MSI Z270 M7 and i7-6700K and make sure the BIOS is up to date..MSI has a forum too.
Watch the CPU core's temperatures, more Vcore = higher core temps..I believe the TjMax for those things is 100C, but you'd need to search it, or Real Temp should tell you in the Settings..Stay 10C below TjMax at all times, the cooler the better.
If you can pass Intel Burn Test or the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool, your overclock should be good to go.
