So I noticed that my over clock got unstable over the course of a week and kept getting bsods while gaming. I removed the heatsink and saw that the thermal paste was not evenly spread out and most of it was to the side and not the middle.

I have reapplied thermal paste several times and still have the same problem. I have tried everything yet the thermal paste still is not spreading properly and keep getting bsod. I have checked and all the stand offs of properly placed and hsve tried several ways installing the heatsink. What is happening?

70C is a perfectly acceptable temperature. I suspect that the BSOD is being caused by a lack of voltage.

When overclocking, there comes a point when a huge increase in voltage is required for a tiny increase in clock speed, and I think this is where you're at. At this point, you've reached the limit of what your components are capable of.

BSOD and temp are not always related.
Your OC could be unstable even before the temp went high.
Your settings play a role..and OC is also a matter of luck..if you get a good processor, you can pump it high..if you are unlucky..well..otherwise then.
OC only a little step at a time, check for stability and go further up. If you see an unstable settings, try t raise the Vcore only a wee bit. if it is unstable in anyway...go back 1 step...that is your max.

I've tried 1.32 v at 4.6 and 1.36 at 4.7 but they both start off OK and the temps just keep rising fast while playing until they reach around 70c and I get a bsod.
