So im running my i5 4670K @ 4.4ghz with 1.280v (fixed).

Idle temps are 30s and the highest temp with a prime95 stretch test was about 76 give or take.

While playing dead rising 3 i was getting 50s temp with the highest of about 63.

Cooler is Corsair Hydro h100i.

Thanks.

When using intel burn test they were 70s and 60s then all of a sudden jumped to 90s

How much cache multiplier are you using for your 4.6 overclock and what is the cache voltage ?

yes that your temps go higher in itb is normal with that vcore because its a bit high vcore.
I hit almost 90 degrees in itb when I run 4.7ghz with 1.255v.
normally I have my cpu cache just auto auto, but 2 days ago I set it to 4.2 with 1.2v.
It doesn't do much more for performance, maybe a little in benchmarks.
if you haven't already test if that's the lowest vcore you can use.
set cache ratio to auto, multiplier to 44, and vcore to 1.225v and test, I don't now how good your cpu is, so test.

cache leave it on auto, also the voltage for cache just leuve it on auto.
auto is already 38 I believe.
first try to get the lowest possible vcore for 4.4/4/5
if stable then try other things.
