I have the worst 3570K in history though, built 3 of the same rig (2 for friends, 1 for me) and mine takes 1.4v for 4.6GHz and IMC is no good past 2050MHz
No, I did not de-lid the chip. In gaming the temps do not go over 70C, and that is the highest workload the chip sees day to day. Sorry to hear about your 3570K, that's a really high voltage for 4.6GHz. At that same frequency I was Prime stable at only 1.145V.
