CPU overclock to 4.6 Ghz
CPU overclock to 4.6 Ghz
I increased my 6700k to 4.6 Ghz, adjusted vcore to 1.37, LLC at level 4, and set current capacity to 120%. The core voltage stays around 1.36 V most of the time. Should I make any changes?

Everything seems okay. Plus, you're a pretty solid overclocker, by the way. Really, how impressive?
4,6 ghz at 1,36v isn't bad at all, and you likely got a good silicon match. Well, fine if you have a custom loop—it would be a tough CPU. But I think you have a 212 evo, right?
No, I actually have a Kraken X62. It's an AIO, so I could probably push the CPU higher. Right now the temperature is mostly around 55°C, and the maximum underload is about 63°C, which rarely happens. Still, I'm happy with 4.6 Ghz.
What about Prime 95?
I ran Prime95 for an hour and 20 minutes—temperature reached a max of 74°C.
Well, in any case, your chip seems average. 75°C at 4.6ghz isn't great. To answer your question directly, yes, everything is fine.
All seems okay. Plus, you're doing a pretty solid overclocking job.

That's a solid overclock setup. The core voltage affects temperature on the core. If you need 1.37V for stability at that speed, it's acceptable. However, if temperatures exceed 75°C during stress tests, reduce the core voltage gradually in steps of 0.01V until instability appears, then increase back slowly until stable. This can lead to a 5-6°C gain or more.

Everything seems okay. Also, you're doing a really good overclocker, by the way. How impressive! At 4.6 ghz with 1.36v, it's not bad at all—probably you got lucky with the silicon. Unless you have a custom loop, this would be a pretty weak CPU. I think you have a 212 evo, right?
Everything seems okay. Also, you're doing a pretty good overclocking, aren't you? 4.6 ghz at 1.36v isn't bad, and you're likely hitting the silicon nicely. Probably a custom loop would make it worse, but I think you have a 212 evo. I'm not sure if that's right, but I'm happy with the current temps—mostly around 55°C, with a max of about 63°C under load, which rarely happens.
Liquid-X shared his thoughts with SirFlamenco. He mentioned he's fine and that the overclocking is quite good, noting a stable 4.6 ghz at 1.36v. He thinks it's a lucky run, possibly hitting the silicon successfully. He also confirmed he has a custom loop and a 212 evo CPU, which would be ideal for higher performance. The current temperature stays around 55°C with only minor overloads, usually under 63°C. He expressed satisfaction with the performance.
SirFlamenco shared his thoughts, Liquid-X responded, and SirFlamenco added a friendly remark about being a good overclocker. He mentioned running at 4.6 ghz with 1.36v, noting it's impressive and possibly hitting the silicon. He confirmed he has a custom loop, which would make the CPU less ideal but still compatible with his 212 evo. He also shared that his current temperature stays around 55°C with only minor spikes, and 63°C max underload is rare. He expressed satisfaction with the performance.
