I increased my 4690k with a H100i GTX and a Maximus VII Gene. It's running at 4.5 ghz with 1.265 vcore and 1.29 CPU cache voltage. I wasn't able to reach 4.6 at those settings, which is a bit disappointing. I still have a few questions though. Should I raise the core voltage and attempt 4.6ghz again, or should I stick with 4.5 and adjust the vcore to its most stable setting? Also, would it be better to lower the cache voltage? The minimum and maximum cache ratio is 35. Also, the CPU temperature reached 75 degrees during the Intel Burn Test at maximum settings.

4.5 is acceptable, 4.6 won't significantly impact performance.
