I have intel i7 4770k Processor and Corsair H60 Liquid Cooling on it
Idle Temperature : 39C - 42C
When I play heavy games like Battlefield 4, temperatures are between 58C - 63C at 50-55% load
and in GTA V temperatures are between 60C - 67C at 50-55% load.
I did AID64 Extreme stress test on my cpu and max temperature was 91C at 100% load, at those temperature my cpu didn't throttle or my PC didn't shutdown by itself.

My PC is 2 years old I have also applied Noctua NT H1 thermal compound 2 days back from now but still temperature are not normal. My room temperature is 33C - 34C. Processor is not overclocked.

I used HWMonitor for checking Temperatures. I also checked H60 Pump speed and it was between 4655 RPM - 4755 RPM sometimes it crosses 4755 RM but didn't saw it going over 4800RPM, H60 Pump is not making any sound it is silent and the fan speed are between 1800 RPM - 2033 RPM sometime it goes below 1800RPM at 1750 RPM or 1600RPM. The fan which came with H60 is connected to CPU_FAN and pump wire is connected to CPU_OPT, in BIOS everything is at default, in BIOS fan control settings CPU_OPT can't be seen. CPU_FAN q-mode is enabled and it is " Auto " and fan speed are set at " Standard ".

Full PC specification :

Processor : Intel i7 4770k 3.50ghz with turbo boost 3.90ghz

did you fit the H60 yourself? I know from recently fitting an H80i to my board the intel fitting can 1 be a pain to get seated properlly and 2 sit loose on the board.

firstly can you run your system with the side of and place youre fingers on the cpu block and lightly apply pressure pushing it on and see if youre temperatures fall.

when I fitted mine to my 4690k onto my gigabyte board I noticed that the mounting was loose when fitted to remedy this I fitted some rubber washers at the rear of the board between the board and the backplate

I applied pressure lightly with my fingers but no changes in temperatures. I think it is mounted properly. I started battlefield 4 singleplayer and temperature were at 60 C(which is same), I touched those pipes which are connected to pump and they felt warm, radiator was less warm than the pipe. I got one exhaust fan on top of my cabinet, as recommended by corsair I mounted the fan which came with H60 so it will throw air towards the radiator.

Without any stress test core voltage are between 0.709V - 0.900V fluctuating.
I ran AID64 Extreme stress test and core voltage was 1.110 V - 1.178 V at 100% load 3.90ghz.

I wouldn't say its a voltage issue. again I would say check you're CPU block.
did you have the cooler fitted witted with the original paste before you applied the Noctua NT H1?
if so when you removed the cpu block did the old paste look as if it was spread evenly on cpu and the cooler blocks face?

Yes it was wet and evenly spread. I cleaned it with cloth, and made sure there is no trace of old thermal paste is left on both cpu and H60 copper plate.

Applied cooked rice grain sized Noctua NTH1 thermal paste at center of CPU. Then put H60 on top of it and twisted it a little as recommended by Noctua, then fastened thumb screw.
