My rig:
i7 6700k (4.5GHz @ 1.26V)
H115i Cooler
GTX 1070 Gainward Phoenix (+165 +700)
G.Skills RipJaws 3200MHz DDR4 Ram (XMP)
MSI Pro Carbon Gaming Z170 Motherboard

I want to push my overclock even higher, but I'm not sure how to start. My current temps are 25C idle and 55-60C full load with Prime95.

raise the multiplier by .1 GHz at a time, run it under load for a good while an see if its stable. if not raise the voltage by .05 an try again. though i wouldnt recommend raising the voltage over 1.37

I hope you meant raise it 0.1GHz at a time and not 1GHz haha :p What do I do if I raise the clock to 4.6GHz and the computer refuses to boot?

Yea i meant .1 lol srry bout that . And you should still be able to get into bios an reset it to defaults or change it back before it shuts down. May take a few trys but itll work.
