I have a voltage adjustment that changes, I believe it can reach up to 1.416 volts maximum, though it's currently at 1.064 volts with a 2% CPU usage. These processors were built in both Costa Rica and Malaysia, and the heat-spreader labels indicate the exact location of each CPU's origin. The models from Malaysia generally require more voltage to manage certain overclocking than those from Costa Rica. My i7 2600k was produced in Malaysia. Based on the voltage needed to maintain 4.5 GHz, I suspect your 2600k was also made there.
I apply a positive voltage offset of +0.07v. When configuring the voltage mode to Offset, avoid leaving it in Auto mode during overclocking. Select either a positive or negative offset instead. Keeping it at Auto would cause excessive voltage to reach the CPU, which can affect stability. Each CPU behaves differently, so you'll need to test various offsets to find what works best. Use gradual increases when adjusting the voltage. The Load-Line Calibration is currently at 50%. If it were lower, I'd need to raise the offset more to prevent lockups caused by voltage drops. I believe all C states are active, and Intel Speed-Stepping is enabled. The VRM speed is set to 400 Mhz, as recommended in a guide I read, though I haven't seen problems with it. Other sources suggest 350 Mhz, but I haven't noticed any stability changes from that setting.
I notice many discussions about High to Ultra’s visual quality on the GTX1070. People often wonder how performance differences affect gameplay compared to Ultra settings. Experiences vary, but generally, the transition from High to Ultra on lower-end hardware can be noticeable in frame rates and visual fidelity. Though opinions differ, many players find the game still enjoyable despite these changes.

They should be okay with the CPU. A maximum temperature of 65°C fits safely, and the 1.415V should only occur during full load. I think it usually runs around 1.000V when idle.
The CPU will wear out more quickly when operating close to full capacity. My 4670k can handle around 4.7 GHz at over 1.4V, but I’m not sure that gaining another 200 MHz will extend its lifespan.
