i7 4790k voltage
Consider the voltage and heat factors.
The readings show spikes to 1.31v at 62°C, with a 26.6v peak during Prime95.
Is a 1.3v increase acceptable given these temperatures?
Using a Kraken X61 water cooler, a spike to 1.33v is needed for 4.8ghz performance at 69°C.
Low core temps are good, but the voltage changes matter.
1.35v works well. I noticed I could achieve 4.7ghz at 1.25 and 4.8ghz at 1.35. The higher voltage needed for 100mhz wasn't appealing, so I stuck with 4.7ghz.
Your temperatures are okay and the voltage is correct, but it's close to the highest range you'd feel comfortable in.

what to consider about voltage and heat?
4.7ghz running at 1.28v atm spikes to 1.31v with the hottest core at 62C and lowest at 52C during prime95 26.6v. Is a 1.3v+ acceptable or should I worry? My temperatures are low.
using a kraken x61 water cooler, 1.33v spikes to 1.356v is needed for 4.8ghz = 69C hottest core and 61C lowest core. Either option works, so whatever feels better. I’d prefer 1.356 vcore @ 4.8G with a max of 69C, but the performance difference between 4.7 and 4.8Ghz is minimal.
