I oced my core i5 with auto voltages. Any z87 expert?

Yeah don't do auto. It'll make your OC less stable, or alternativvely put the voltage too high for the OC.
What's your cooler? A good method to OC Is just to set your core voltage to stock and the multiplier to 40, and then just stress test with prime95, either lowering or rasing the voltages and clocks until you get a stable overclock that doesn't surpass 80 degrees while stress testing. At least that's what I did. :/

Idle temp doesn't matter one bit. It's your temp under load that's important.
The biggest voltage to pay attention to is your vcore; you can tweak the others to make minor adjustments, but the vcore is the most important and what's responsible for causing overheating.

1.22v would be more than fine, the trouble is that the auto selection increases voltage with load, so it's giving the chip way more juice than it needs and producing those horrible temps you have.
Also - what cooling solution do you have? You shouldn't be doing this with the stock intel cooler.

I got the point. So the goal is to find a stable voltage and put it as fixed ? Or the voltage that im gonna chose will be the maximum voltage the cpu can use ?
Also im on coolermaster V6GT cooler . Atm im with auto voltages and 4.4ghz. Idle is 37degrees and while playing BF4 on utlra settings maximum was 68degrees. Those are decent temps and if i know how to mess with the voltages im sure i will obtain better temps.

The goal is neither of those. You're trying to find the MINIMUM voltage that the chip is stable at for a given frequency.
I suggest you look up overclocking + your cpu + your motherboard. There's probably a guide out there for your specific parts that will tell you exactly what to do.
