So, I recently upgraded my stock cooler to the H100i from Corsair. I have a 4670k with Arctic Silver 5 and a Gigabyte UD5H-Z87. I Don't know much about overclocking so I used software that came with the motherboard called Gigabyte Easy Tune. I ran an auto calibration test for the overclock and it stress tested at 4.2 all the way up to 4.6. Temps were in the 80's until it clocked to 4.6 and then went into the 90's during the stress test, one core hit 100 for a split second. I ran prime95 for about half an hour just to see and it stayed between 80-95 with an occasional jump to 100 on one core. Is this acceptable, or should I put it down to 4.4 or lower? I'm not real sure with Haswell chips, as the information all over the internet is very inconsistent when it comes to acceptable temps on this chip. I just don't want to fry anything. Spent too much money on this rig to have it die on me!
Also, temps at idle are around 25-30.
