4770k I was able to overclock it to 4.6 with air cooling just the temps were high and I went for H100i and now it's unstable at even 4.4.
What's wrong?

I'm using the "level up" in bios.
It worked 4.6 stable with CM EVO but I was getting around temps were around 90.

Yea that's going to fry your chip. Your cooler can't handle the retard Auto voltage.

I could write 3 paragraphs but I'm lazy and tired tonight. So watch these videos.

Don't feel dumb my first time I did the auto level up thinking I was pro. Nope.
xmp ram
sync cores
manual voltage to stable on burn tests
then adaptive volts
