Like the title says i am overclocking a 4690k to 4.4 ghz at a core voltage of 1.200v and got a bsod today while playing csgo. I installed the corsair h60 last night and on real temps i was around 30-37 ish idle and 40-43 while playing csgo.

From researching the web i know people have hit 4.4 and some even higher at 1.2v or less. Do i just need to up my voltage more or is it better to lower the ratio to preserve the cpu life.

Solution
I would bump the voltage up to 1.22 and see how it goes. Anything under 1.3V is perfectly safe, and you won't need anywhere near that much anyway.
