My build is listed below, I just added an ASUS Strix GTX1070 08G to my system. My clock is currently 4.5 GHz and I’m usually reaching about 74°C at maximum game load. Would it be beneficial to watercool the system to raise the temperature? I plan to upgrade to a Skylake build when prices drop, which could take anywhere from six months to a year.

You can reduce your temperatures with a solid AIO if that suits you. But unless you're aiming for maximum voltage, it's improbable you'll achieve significant increases in clock speed even underwater. Ivy Bridge typically doesn't exceed 4.5Ghz for the majority of cases.
