so Ive got my 4790k stable at 4.6 with 1.25 Vcore temps in prime95 small fttp were going to 75 on 2 cores does this seem alright?
hopefully. Ive not tried for any more yet. It is benching well at 4.6 on the core and 4.5 on the uncore and seems pretty stable at the moment.my limit on the 4790k is 4.6 @ 1.25, anything past that I was getting blue screen, but you might have a better one than I have.

Don't you ever sleep?
Keep going. You have loads of voltage headroom left. I would be tempted to set vcore at 1.35v and try the 49x or even 50x multiplier now just to see if it boots. If it does test for stability and if stable tweak the voltage down. I can't be doing with this 100mhz steps anymore and the first overclock I tried on my 4670k was 4.2Ghz then 4.6Ghz then 4.8Ghz. I have gotten impatient with age.
Running the core and cache at 1:1 does have a small performance gain but you probably won't notice it in day to day tasks. I have mine both at 4.4Ghz and that and some other tweaks kept me at the top of the i5 rankings in the Cinebench thread until Skylake launched.
